Acquisition

Contains sampling settings for all input channels used in an acquisition.

Contains parameters for a general acquisition.

Specify how much memory to allocate for block mode acquisitions Streaming mode allocates minimal memory specified by BufferLength SingleCapture will transfer one whole capture at a time MultipleCapture will transfer up to n captures at a time AllCaptures will get all the data in one bulk transfer, which could require several hundred megabytes depending on the number of samples and captures requested

The downsampling mode which was used to reduce the samples stored in a data buffer before sending them to the computer.

Index of capture in rapid block acquisition

Downsampling mode used to reduce data captured by the oscilloscope before sending it to the computer.

Downsampling ratio used to reduce the data sampled by the oscilloscope before sending it to the computer.

Equivalent time sampling mode setting. In ETS mode, the PicoScope samples a repetitive signal by interleaving multiple captures to achieve smaller sample intervals.

Specifies the sampling settings used to capture a particular input channel and transfer it to the computer.

Device memory segment. Memory can be segmented to allow multiple captures to be stored on the oscilloscope before transferring them to the computer.

Vertical resolution, set for all input channels on the device. The PicoScope 5000 series uses a variable resolution architecture which allows it to change the resolution between 8 and 16 bit in exchange for having fewer channels and/or a lower maximum sampling rate.

Timebase index, indicating the sample interval for acquisition. The relatinship between timebase index and sample interval depends on the current device resolution.

Timebase parameters, containing the maximum sample count which can be acquired from the device and the sample interval corresponding to a given timebase and resolution.
