SDS1204X-E scope freezing when collecting waveform

(1/11) > >>

AnarchistWolf:
Hello,

Currently I am trying to get my SDS1204X-E scope to collect the waveform through TCP using Julia as the programming language (Though i have tested with Python). When i collect the waveform and process the data about 10-20 times the scope suddenly freezes. I need to acquire data like every second or so for hours on end.

Ive already ruled out possible packet problems using wireshark. ive played with the delays/sleeps in my code to make sure it has enough time to process the data but doesnt help no matter the interval.

What is funny to me is that we have a Rigol DS1102Z-E scope thats like a fraction of the cost and i can actually get working with data acquisition every 1 second for more that 12 hours. (To me this is an indicator that my code isnt necessarily the problem.)

Ive contacted Siglent and they have never seen/heard of this problem so im seeing if maybe someone else has some suggestions or comments on the matter. (Id like ya know the more expensive 4 channel oscilloscope to work compared to the Rigol, which while it works i think it is causing some slight problems in reading the waveform.)

Thanks,
W

Welcome to the forum.

Sorry I don't have any answers, only questions.
Please state the firmware version in use, the latest is 37R9.
https://int.siglent.com/download/firmwares/?ProId=12

What format is the data you're grabbing ?
Could you show us a screenshot from the USB port ?
Have you worked through the pages of operating tips and App notes ?

Maybe this could work better for you:

Hello,
I am running the latest Firmware (The one you have listed).

The format is in hexadecimal, 14k points (Lowest mem depth). I wouldnt be able to show you a screenshot because the scope freezes, not allowing anything. I could send a picture but it would just be of a static scope. I have gone through the tips and tried looking through many forums (and also contacting Siglent themselves multiple times) but havent found much.

The reason i am using a TCP connection is so i dont have to install libraries, i dont have to be near the instrument, and so that my code can read and process the data in realtime without having to download and then read the data. 

I hope those answered some of your questions,
Best,
W

Sorry, I should've asked for the filetype.

As you can see from the screenshot only certain types are available.

When sending the WF? (Waveform acquire) SCPI commands i do not get a file back, i get a header and an array of hexadecimal units.
