Re: Enable GEN output of the Pico 4824A in LabVIEW

Hi, If you take the block example - https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-ni-labview-examples/blob/master/ps4000a/PicoScope4000aExampleBlock.vi and remove the outer while loop. Then setup the trigger and set "Auto Trigger Time (ms)" to zero to disable the trigger. Now ever time you run the vi the ...

Re: Enable GEN output of the Pico 4824A in LabVIEW

Hi,
There is no way to turn off the output of the signal generator (High-Z) only set it to a DC voltage.

So if you are using-
ps4000aSetSigGenBuiltIn() or ps4000aSetSigGenArbitrary()
Set "offsetVoltage" and "pkToPk" to zero.

Re: PicoScope and Executable (.exe) of labview

Hello, Is the error coming from the OpenUnit function? Is the ps4000 or ps4000a API? Can you try running the exe with the "Use Serial Number" button - you need to first enter the units serial number into the "Serial Number" text box. If this works I have a vi that could work around the this issue.

Hi,

Please check the USB and power cable are connected to the PicoScope and that PicoScope 6/7 software is closed.

Re: PICO ADC-20: time and date stamps

No unfortunately there is no feature to do this, I will add your details to an existing feature request (to do this when exporting to picolog/csv files)

Re: PicoScope 2205A does not work on Raspi 4B 8GB

The driver for 2204A and 2205A (ps2000 API on armhf/Pi) has been broken for quite a while but the good news is that this has been fixed.
This will be available in the next public release of PicoLog 6.

Re: Triggering Streaming Capture

Hi, You should call the trigger functions after you have setup your channels (SetChannel(), SetDigitalPort()) If you are just setting up digital channels for trigging you only need to call- ps2000aSetTriggerChannelConditions() ps2000aSetTriggerDigitalPortProperties() Note in streaming mode you ...

Re: Replacement probe adjustment tool?

No we don't sell adjustment screwdrivers or parts for those probes from the 2204A.
I would used a small flat blade screwdriver that fits if you have one.
Just search for "scope probe adjustment screwdriver" if you are looking to buy one.

Re: Converting voltage to current

No we don't have a special 4-20mA probe. For 4-20mA you would need to add a external resistor across the input to the channel. For example at 20mA = (2.5V / 20mA = 125ohm) As the input range of the logger is 2.5 volts. So you round this down to the nearest E series of resistor values, to give a ...

Re: Output of spectrum in dBV mode

Hi Narendra,
The csv exports from picoscope 7 software are in Unit/ √bin width(Hz) not Unit/ √width(Hz).
Units can be changes in the Spectrum -> Axis options-
Linear (volts), Log - dBV, dBu, dbm, Arbitrary dB.
And change Y-axis on graph so see what your exporting.

Hi, Answers below- Q1. Unfortunately the psdata/pssetting binary file formats are proprietary to Pico Technology. Q2. When you are using our LabVIEW SDK examples you open the unit by ADC resolution, and set the voltage ranges for the channels the same as PicoScope 7 software. The raw data from the ...
