Use a Picoscope Oscilloscope as a Measurement device with Labview

Post by Covelf »

Hello,
is it possible to use a Picoscope Oscilloscope as a Measurement device with Labview. I have seen, that there is a possibility of using them with Labview. But can they output the analog voltage, that they measure to other VIs? I need a Measurement device with a sampling rate of at least 3MS/s in Order to receive the Counts of a Servo-Motor-Encoder.

I hope someone can help me.
If you have any other suggestions on how to solve this, I would be very greatful.

Thanks in advance.
Tom

LabVIEW software examples are available from our GitHub repositories.
https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-ni- ... ter#readme

If you wish to capture data and use the AWG at the same time you will need to
add the AWG vi into one of the top level examples for the API being used.
And also add AWG vi controls to the front panel.

For example a 2206B use the "ps2000a" API

Add the sub vi-

to the block example, before the setting vi is called-

I would suggest a min. of a 2206B which has 32MS of buffer memory.
The 2204A, 2205A and 2405A only kS of buffer memory.
