Rapid block mode example 1: no aggregation

#define MAX_SAMPLES 1000

Set up the device up as usual.

Open the device

Channels

Trigger

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

required)

// set the number of waveforms to 100

ps6000SetNoOfCaptures (handle, 100);

pParameter = false;

ps6000RunBlock

(

handle,

0, // noOfPreTriggerSamples

10000, // noOfPostTriggerSamples

1, // timebase to be used

1, // oversample

&timeIndisposedMs,

1, // segment index

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 = PS6000_CHANNEL_A; c <= PS6000_CHANNEL_D; c++)

{

ps6000SetDataBufferBulk

(

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.
