Number of memory segments (this should be equal or more than the no of captures

required)

// set the number of waveforms to 100

ps4000SetNoOfCaptures (handle, 100);

pParameter = false;

ps4000RunBlock

(

handle,

10000, // noOfPostTriggerSamples,

lpReady,

&pParameter

);

Comment: these variables have been set as an example and can be any valid value.

pParameter will be set true by your callback function lpReady.

while (!pParameter) Sleep (0);

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)

{

for (int c = PS4000_CHANNEL_A; c <= PS4000_CHANNEL_D; c++)

{

ps4000SetDataBufferBulk

(

handle,

&buffer[c][i],

MAX_SAMPLES,

);

}

Comments: buffer has been created as a two-dimensional array of pointers to shorts,

which will contain 1000 samples as defined by MAX_SAMPLES. There are only 10

buffers set, but it is possible to set up to the number of captures you have requested.
