Great news! To all you Picofans out there: The save on trigger function is now available in PicoScope6.

Save-on-trigger is just one of a number of functions that are possible with the Alarms feature.

Hi!

I have set up my function generator to give a 2V pulse with 1% duty cycle every 60 seconds. In PicoScope 6 my trigger is set to "Auto" with "Rising Edge" and a threshold of 1.9V. For my alarm I've checked the "Capture" event and added a "Save Current Buffer".

What I want to do is to save the buffer every 60 seconds, or when my pulse hts 2V. However, PicoScope 6 always saves whenever the waveform reaches the end of the page, or just before it changes buffers. What do I do?

"Save Current Buffer" does exactly what you have described, it will save at the end of each screen. Change this to "Save All Buffers" and it will save when all the buffers are full.

If this still doesn't give you the desired result post a psdata file or send it to support@picotech.com and we can take a look at your data and settings
