When the waveform is acquired

[arielsl\]

Hello,

I use the example code to control my scope (Tektronix 2024B).

I need the VI to inform when the waveform is acquired - the exact moment.

How do I do it?

Thanks,

Ariel.

You've got the time of acquisition embedded in the waveform. If you want to know the elapsed time, get the time at the start and subtract. 'The exact moment' is wishful thinking.

Thanks for your answer.

The time is not the issue here.

If I set a trigger, the scope waits until it gets a waveform.

I want the VI to inform the other loop that the waveform is acquired, and as a result the loop will stop.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

You could use a queue or something as simple as a local or value property node.

I don't know how to use those things... Can demonstrate with the vi that I uploaded it will be very useful... Thanks, Ariel
