Read Waveform from Oscilloscope

Reset the instrument to a known state and automatically configure the measurement parameters.

reset(dev)
autoSetup(dev)

Get the actual record length, which is the number of points that the oscilloscope acquires.

recordLength = actualRecordLength(dev)
recordLength = 62500

Enable channel 1 on the oscilloscope.

dev.Channel("Channel1").ChannelEnabled = true;

Explore the properties of channel 1.

Set the channel probe attenuation to 1.

dev.Channel("Channel1").ProbeAttenuation = 1;

Specify the sweep time duration in milliseconds.

maxTimeMilliseconds = 1e3;

Read a waveform from the oscilloscope.

[waveformArray,actualPoints] = readWaveform(dev,"Channel1",recordLength,maxTimeMilliseconds);

Visualize Data and Display Any Errors

Get the number elements in the waveform array and verify that they match the actual number of points returned by the readWaveform function.

n = numel(waveformArray);

Calculate the time in between samples and create a time vector.

dt = dev.Acquisition.HorizontalTimePerRecord/dev.Acquisition.HorizontalRecordLength;
t = (0:n-1) * dt;

Display the waveform.

plot(t,waveformArray); 
grid on;
xlabel('Time (s)');
ylabel('Volts (V)');

If there are any errors, query the driver to retrieve and display them.

errorNum = 1;
while (errorNum ~= 0)
    [errorNum,errorMsg] = error_query(dev);
    fprintf('ErrorQuery: %d, %s\n',errorNum,errorMsg);
end
ErrorQuery: 0, No error

Clean Up

Disconnect and clear the ividev object from the workspace.

clear dev
