How do I acquire waveforms in LabVIEW on multiple trigger conditions on a Tektronix TDS5000 scope? The signals are fast, so is there a way not to use a simple loop in LabVIEW?

The signals are fast, so is there a way to acquire them without losing information? Do I have to use a loop in LabVIEW that just acquires when the trigger conditions are met?

Hi,

I would assume that the instrument has some sort of buffer that could store data while you are trying to download it. If this is not possible, you could use one of our DAQ cards to acquire data.

Hope this helps.
