Trying to get a value every ns with: "PS5000AStreamingConsole"

[KAndreas]

Hello,
i have an impulse to measure with the oszilloscope. The impulse is about 60ns long and it's maximum is 100mV.
With the "PS5000AStreamingConsole"-example i try to get a value every ns, but for the time of 60ns i only get about 10 values.
How can i modify the example to get a value every ns or even more?

Code: Select all

 [size=150]timebase = 1[/size]
        numPreTriggerSamples = 1000
        numPostTriggerSamples = 10000
        totalSamples = numPreTriggerSamples + numPostTriggerSamples

        timeIntervalNs = CSng(0.0)
        maxSamples = 0
        segmentIndex = 0
        getTimebase2Status = PicoStatus.PICO_INVALID_TIMEBASE ' Initialise as invalid timebase


        Do Until getTimebase2Status = PicoStatus.PICO_OK

            getTimebase2Status = ps5000aGetTimebase2(handle, timebase, totalSamples, timeIntervalNs, maxSamples, segmentIndex)

            If getTimebase2Status <> PicoStatus.PICO_OK Then

                timebase = timebase + 1

            End If

        Loop

When i set timebase = 1 console gives me:
"Timebase:1 Sample interval: 2 ns"
How can i get more samples in 2ns interval?

The streaming speeds are limited as it is necessary to be able to transfer data over the USB bus continuously without loss. The maximum rates are 125 MS/s (8-bit) or 62.5 MS/s (12 to 16 bit modes).

If you want to sample with a 1nsec interval you will need to use block mode capture, at 8 bit vertical resolution, using only a single channel. See section 3.6 of the Programmer's Guide

Thanks, i figured this out.
