Saving data every 10s
Saving data every 10s
Hi, I am new to the software and I would like to take a snapshot of my waveform every 10s and save it to my PC. However, so far I have only been able to program such that a file is saved for every complete waveform. I am planning on using a 0.1 Hz square wave that triggers the save every rising edge however I am not sure how to go about this.
Re: Saving data every 10s
Do you need to save it in sync with the trigger or is free running also ok
if free running is ok then you can do a sample time of 100ms/div and save every waveform with the alarm function.
If you need on a trigger and you have a square wave of 1 Hz then you need a sample time less than 100ms/div so 50ms/div is an option.
However what method you choose you will have a dead time between the saves, because during the saving and download over USB there is nothing recorded by the scope.
