4 Combining several oscilloscopes
The 2000 Series driver can collect data from up to 64 PicoScope 2000 Series PC
oscilloscopes at the same time. Each oscilloscope must be connected to a separate
USB port. If you use a USB hub, make sure it is a powered hub.
To begin, call ps2000_open_unit to obtain a handle for each oscilloscope. All the
other functions require this handle for oscilloscope identification. For example, to
collect data from two oscilloscopes at the same time:
handle1 = ps2000_open_unit()
handle2 = ps2000_open_unit()
ps2000_set_channel(handle1)
... set up unit 1
ps2000_run_block(handle1)
ps2000_set_channel(handle2)
... set up unit 2
ps2000_run_block(handle2)
ready = FALSE
while not ready
ready = ps2000_ready(handle1)
ready &= ps2000_ready(handle2)
ps2000_get_values(handle1)
ps2000_get_values(handle2)
ps2000_close_unit(handle1)
ps2000_close_unit(handle2)
It is not possible to synchronize the collection of data between oscilloscopes that are
being used in combination.
