PICO_STATUS ps6000MemorySegments
(
short handle
unsigned long nSegments,
unsigned long * nMaxSamples
)
This function sets the number of memory segments that the scope will use.
When the scope is opened, the number of segments defaults to 1, meaning that each
capture fills the scope's available memory. This function allows you to divide the
memory into a number of segments so that the scope can store several waveforms
sequentially.
Applicability

* nMaxSamples, on exit, the number of samples available in each
segment. This is the total number over all channels, so if more than
one channel is in use then the number of samples available to each
channel is nMaxSamples divided by the number of channels.
