Scope Continuous Record and Save *.csv

[Slawek]

How can I adjust the settings of "Record" mode in Scope to continuously draw, record, save *.csv, and repeat automatically?

I want to avoid setting very long record duration because then I cannot observe the waveform behavior due to the large timebase.

I have the Logging widget set to "Each acquisition", which saves to *.csv, but when the drawing finishes, I have to manually press "Record" again.

Hi @Slawek

The Record mode is intended to capture then analyzer. It may take long time for the data to be processed in various views, measurements...

You can use a Scrip to restart the capture:

do{Scope.start()}while(Scope.wait())

Hi attila. This works great! Thank you.

Is there an easy way to automate getting screenshot as well as *.acq file?

I looked through the commands with Ctrl+Space and the documentation, but I'm not finding anything specific to capturing image.

Hi @Slawek

The "acquisition" saving can't be automated but:
- In the Logging view you can select the export format under the 'gear' after the Source option.
- You can use the example script to save both picture and data.

Truly amazing how versatile your software is! This works great. Thank you. Screenshot below for future lurkers and my future self.

Bit off topic now, but is there a command to reset "Measurements"? (Yet again, I cannot find it via this forum or documentation)

Is there a more thorough API documentation available somewhere?

Hi @Slawek

The Script tool provides access to most of the control behind the interface, a lot of objects and functions.
The commonly used ones are listed in the app Help and the Ctrl+Space can be used to reveal the child objects.
The Script access for scope-measurements-reset is currently not available but it will be in the next version.

Thank you for the clients since the feedbacks make the app evolve

I am familiar with the code completion feature, but a thorough API document with find functionality would be much much easier.

Looking forward to the next version. Thanks for your help.

Hi @Slawek

You can also find for some controls the Script reference in the status-bar.

One follow-on question -- the time offset when repeating Record operations gets reset to 0 -- is it possible to preserve a fixed offset?

Hi @Adam K

For record, the trigger position can be set under the very first Config button.
