We recently purchased our first NI USB oscilloscope (USB-5132) and this is my first experience using NI-Scope
Setting the time base seems like a very basic function for an oscilloscope, yet I have gone through all of the examples and in every single one of them the time base is fixed and there is no way to change it. All of the examples recommend a certain frequency and amplitude for a signal that will work for the demo.
That's all fine and dandy as long as the signal I am interested in is the same as the needed signal for the demo code.
But what if it's not?
What if I don't know exactly what frequency I will be looking at?
What if the user wants to see more or less cycles?
The " Configure Horizontal Timing" vi. only allows me to change these things:
min sample rate
min record length
reference position
number of records
enforce realtime
How do I change the horizontal time base?
Do I have to do some kind of crazy math involving the sample rate and record length?
