TDS6604 vi problems

Currently I am trying to use the tkdpo7k driver set to control a Tektronix TDS6604 O-scope to read a series of waveform pulses that can occur between 500ms to 5s apart.  What I am currently doing with an older scope is:

  • Configure the scope (vertical horizontal acquisition mode trigger etc.)
  • Tell the scope to acquire the waveform.
  •  Once the next waveform is acquired I process the information.

When I try using the equivilant plugins for the 6604 in my program I cannot get it to wait till a new waveform is acquired in fact I do not even have to have a waveform present it just runs straight through.

 

Any thought or suggestions will be helpful

That is typical with an error condition. Do you have an error indicator or have you probed the error wire?
