On my old Hameg I had a timer showing time since last trigger. I cannot find this in Picoscope.
This is useful when measuring non repetitive signals.
Trigger Time
Re: Trigger Time
Hi Moonwalker,
If you mean time since the Trigger occurred for the current capture, then that value is not needed because it will always be zero. PicoScope 6 performs an adjustment of the timing of all samples so that the Trigger passes through zero.

Re: Trigger Time
No what I mean is time since last trigger.
Ex - I have similar pulses coming in every 5-20seconds. I would need to know the time since the last trigger (or time waiting for trigger) to know the time since the last pulse( or trigger).

Hi Moonwalker,
This is not currently available in PicoScope 6, but is intended for an up and coming version (unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to say exactly when that will be, but pay close attention to the next Beta version).

Re: Trigger Time
If you enable the preferences panel (Views->View Preferences) you will have a panel on the right that will give a Microsoft timestamp for each capture to 1 second accuracy.
The timestamp Gerry has mentioned will be in micro seconds if the scope supports the functionality.

Re: Trigger Time
Thanks the Timestamp in the preferences windows may help but is not exactly as I want. You need to compare the Timestamp with the current time and compute difference to get proper Trigger time.
I think this is very easy to implement since you already have Timestamp of last trigger. Just add another label below Capture Time and compute difference with current time - updating it say every 100ms max.

Re: Trigger Time
Any update on this?
Re: Trigger Time
Hi Moonwalker,
Our development team are working to complete the new Software version that will include the function that I mentioned above, however, unfortunately, we are not in a position to be able to give Timescales (there is a discussion about all of this here: topic40416.html).
