CC Generator value update rate for PicoScope 2000 Series
CC Generator value update rate for PicoScope 2000 Series
Hello everyone,
I witnessed a strange behavior using the waveform generator to generate CC signals. When I change the value (let's say from 400mV to 800mV) it updates only when the active channel is triggered AND it finish to fill one screen.
I tested 3 cases :
-channel A active but left unplugged (0V). Trigger set to window mode, threshold set close to 0V, timing set to 1sec/div. A multimeter is plugged to the AWG input. When I change the value of the generator, I clearly see that it update after 10sec or so : the waveform takes 10sec to fill the screen. A trigger event occur right after the screen is filled, and again, if I change the value, I have to wait a complete cycle to see it updated.
-Same as above but timing is now set to 1ms/div. Now when I change the value, it is updated right away (it takes probably 10ms).
-Same as above but threshold is set at 200mV (I don't expect any trigger event) : The value of the generator is never updated.
I wish the generator could update its value without depending on a trigger event on any channel. Is this a normal behavior?
Thank you for your help
Regards
