Create timing source for a timed loop with ni-scope

[danieleviola]

Hi,

I need to trigger a timed loop with the trigger signal that i acquire with the PCI 5122 board.

I've seen that DAQmx can create a timing source for a timed loop, can I do the same with ni-scope.

I need to do this, because I have to acquire and save many single pulses.

Thank you.

Hi,

unfortunately only DAQmx can be used to generate a timing source for a timed loop.

With NI-SCOPE, you may try to generate a software-triggered timing source (as shown here), or synchronize your application to a DAQmx task (if a DAQmx card is available).

I hope this helps!

Bye,

Licia

Hi danielevee,

I am actually curious about what you are doing in your application. Are you trying to perform some form of multi-record acquisition? Can you please elaborate on what you were wishing to accomplish as I would like to better understand what kind of situation this functionality would be useful for. Thanks, in advance, for explaining to me.

Hi,

I'm trying to acquire many pulses at 1Khz, I wanted to try and use a triggered timed loop, but after some test, even if without a timing signal I abandoned the project because the whole thing was too slow: I couldn't acquire every pulse.

So I decided to use the "producer/consumer" architecure, as I wrote in another message: http://forums.ni.com/t5/High-Speed-Digitizers/Fast-pulses-acquisition-with-PCI-5122/td-p/1539206 .
