Automated measurement with Analog Discovery 2 Pro Bundle

[Richard Withers]

We have an application for our Analog Discovery 2 Pro Bundle and would appreciate any help that you can offer on making this measurement work in automated fashion.  See attached file. File deleted by JColvin

 

We have a sensor that is being evaluated with a robot that goes up and down. It creates the signal profile shown in the attached image.

 

We would like to collect this data 1000 times.

Steps involved are as follows

1)     The scope triggers on the falling edge and captures data for 1 sec.

2)     Digitize the data and save it to a text file

3)     Again repeat steps (1) & (2) 1000 times and each time save the data to a new file.

 

We would then use the data to do some pre-processing and find mean and standard deviation.

Question 1) Is this possible to do automatically(no human involved) with your scope?

Question 2) Is there any programming/script that we can write to enable this? Can you help us with this request?

Hi @Richard Withers

1. First configure the proper trigger in the interface for your signal. For time base above 100ms/div the interface switches to scan mode but you can set acquisition mode back to Repeated.
2. Set trigger mode to normal, to prevent entering auto mode.
3. Open View/Logging, configure path, maximum... set execute to each (triggered) acquisition
4. Press Run. The acquisition will continue but the logging will stop after reaching the specified maximum value.

Hi @Richard Withers,

I have edited your post so that your questions were directly on the Forum post like @Kristoff had requested on your original thread.

Please let us know if you have any questions about this.

Thanks,
