pxie-5160 issue using IVIScope driver

Solved!
Go to solution

I am having issues getting my PXIe-5160 4-ch scope to work with the IVIScope drivers.  I am taking a measurement over 400us with a min record length of 10,000.  When I prepare a reading on channel 0, this works fine.  But then when I go to do the same thing on channel 1, it gives me the attached error message.  I do want to be able to capture data on both channels, or even all four maybe.  I do not see anywhere to set the sample rate.  This seems to be a read only attribute that the device should be figuring out itself.  I do not see the problem as at 400us long, 10,000 samples, that's only 2.5e7 rate needed which is way slower than the max of 1.25e9 it can do.

I had my math off.  I was requesting 4us not 400us.  So that does in fact exceed the capabilities of the card at 10,000 samples.  I adjusted the min record length to 5000 and it works fine.
