Because the ScanScreen and ShiftScreen acquisition modes ignore triggers, how do I know precisely when they start the first acquisition? Is it possible to start the analog and digital scan-acquisitions simultaneously to ensure that both data streams are reading/displaying with a common time axis? Or do I misunderstand how these types of acquisition work?
My previous approach was to generate a slow pulse and use the rising edge as a trigger to simultaneously start single acquisitions on both analog and digital scopes, then plot and repeat on the next pulse. But this is tedious, I can't get it to play nice with threading, and it means I only get snapshots of my data instead of seeing the whole stream.
