Generating signal and streaming at the same time in Python

Post by ciacio »

Hi,

I'm trying to generate signal whilst streaming on channels A and B, in Python, using a 5000a device. If the streaming is happening when I try to generate a signal, I get the PICO_BUSY status on the signal generator call.
As far as I can tell, I can achieve this using the PicoScope 7 software.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi

When the scope is streaming it can't have any settings changed for channels, triggers or signal generators. If you want to both streaming capture and generate a signal you would need to set the signal generator up before starting the streaming capture.
