Scope 5160 Measurement

[VipinrajKK]

Dear All,

I have a requirement using NI scope pxi 5160 for measuring  capacitor charging time .

I want to measure the capacitor charging  time between 5v to 7v . Which is the trigger type to be configured and which is the scalar/array measurement function for same. 

Note : pxi 5160 is not supporting window trigger

can anyone suggest me a method using scope trigger and measurement function

I would start with a simple rising edge trigger set to 5V. 

Save the scope sweep X/Y data in a 2D array.

Use array functions to find where the trace (Y data) reaches 7 volts

Calculate the period by using the sample rate your scope is set to and the counting number of samples (X data) from 5V (sample 0) to 7V
