PS4262 Cannot enable BW Limit from Python

[jkuhn]

Hi,

I have a 4262. My python test code is shown below. Setting BWLimited to True or False or 1/0 makes no difference to the capture. The capture has no BW limiting. If I use the Picoscope 6 software BW Limit makes the expected difference in rolling off the spectrum above 200Khz.

I'm have anaconda2 install and py version is 2.7.14. I don't see any version strings in the pico code but it was installed about 6 months ago.

Thanks,

Jay

Hi jkuhn,

I would recommend using the bindings from the picosdk-python-wrappers repository on GitHub.

You should be able to call the ps4000SetBwFilter() function in order to set the filter using the definitions from the ps4000.py binding that it is in there.

Hope this helps,
