I am trying to trigger my PicoScope 3206B with an external digital Input (0 - 1V). So I connected the EXT Channel and with my signal generator and nothing else is connected, only the EXT Channel.
I can connect my PicoScope and have to do some special channel settings, but i don´t know exactly which one. Maybe anybody has already tried to trigger his PicoScope with an external channel. After the trigger comes up, i just would like to give me an output like disp('External Trigger was successful').
In the end, of course i would like to trigger my channel A with the external trigger, but for now i try to get the ext. trigger done.
Set up your trigger on channel A, and check the levels are correct.
Now change the trigger channel to Ext at the bottom of the screen and move the trigger signal from A to the Ext input. If the scope triggers from the Ext input it will draw the signal that is present on A. Note that there will be no trigger diamond.
I am sorry, i forget to tell you that i want to include the PicoScope3206B with Matlab to write my own application.
So i downloaded the SDK for Matlab PS3000Asdk10.5.0.28.zip and unfortunately there is no example for an external trigger, so maybe you/somebody already tried something like that.
I have problems to figure out which functions of the guide (programmers guide, functions guide) i have to use to include the external trigger (EXT Input) in Matlab and also the order to call every function.
