I am practicing signal-generation with PS-4227:
* I connect AWG output to channel-A.
* Then I run demo "PS400 C-console" of PicoSDK.
* No matter how I choose "waveform/frequency" of the built-in functions, I always observed "sine" wave with 1kHz.
So, anybody know how to control the signal generation in PS-4227?
Thanks!
Yes, I was using PicoScope-6 to see the waveform:
* Configuration step:
--------- I just run the SDK demo, and choose waveform "triangle/gaussian/etc/" and difference frequency.
* Monitoring step:
--------- after configuration, I use PicoScope-6 to view the waveform
--------- Problem is: I always see the "sine" waveform with 1khz.
Anything wrong with my steps?
And what do you mean by "what sequence do you use the menu options in"?
Thanks!
If you run the SDK C code to start the generator, then close the application, before running PicoScope 6 to see the data, that will be the problem. PicoScope will start with it's own settings which may have a 1kHz sine wave set.
If you don't close the C console before starting PicoScope 6, the the PicoScope 6 software will not be connected to the scope but will be running in demo mode, which by default displays a 1kHz wine wave on Channel A.
Go to Help->About in PicoScope 6 and post the text from the box, then we can see the reason.
SigGen icon? I can't find it, what does it look like?
"When you open a scope with PicoScope 6 it will write the code to run the device into it before restarting it"
--- write what code? when we open PicoScope-6, we just want to view( and not provide any code), right?
By the way, are we supposed to configure signal-generator inside the PicoScope-6?
Then what can we do with SDK (VC++ application)? Because it will lost after close the application, right?
