Fast Streaming and triggering
I'm trying to use fast streaming with triggering, and am finding it difficult to find much information about how it should behave.
I set up the trigger, call ps3000_run_streaming_ns, then call ps3000_get_streaming_last_values in a loop.
This calls into my callback until the trigger occurs. Once the trigger has occurred, I get one callback, with triggered and triggeredAt set appropriately.
All subsequent calls I make to ps3000_get_streaming_last_values returns 0, and asking the unit fot the last error will give me a NOT_FOUND result.
Is this the expected behaviour, or a bug? I want to continue to stream data after the trigger occurs, not just the arbitrary packet the trigger falls into.
I'm using a PS3424 on 32bit Windows XP. My version of ps3000.dll is 3.6.3.5.
Any ideas?

Same problem occurs in the streamingTests sample.
I've just run the C++ streamingTests example code, and it exhibits the same problem when using triggering.
Setup:
input: 100Hz sine wave into channel A, 10V amplitude.
Channels:
Enable channel A, AC, 20V.
Trigger:
Channel A, rising, level = 0, delay = 0
Sampling:
100ms, 65000 samples
Open the device, then start streaming, and I get around 240 points displayed, and then nothing more.
