[hacklord]

By Robert Emin.  This article demonstrates how Labview can be utilized as a concentric platform for third party applications and hardware.  The Rigol 1052E oscilloscope is a industry grade oscilloscope  that is highly affordable.  Rigol supplies drivers and functions that integrate with Labview.  The technical specifics for the Rigol 1052E are as follows:

Model	DS1052E	DS1102E
Bandwidth	50 MHz	100MHz
Real-time Sample Rate	1 GSa/s(Single Channel), 512 MSa/s(Dual                                    Channels)
Equivalent Sample Rate	10 GSa/s	25 GSa/s
Normal Memory Depth	16 kpts Single Channel / 8 kpts Dual Channel
Long Memory Depth	1 mpts Single Channel / 512kpts Dual Channel

Key Features of the DS1000E series:

• Up to 1 GSa/s sample                     rate

• UP to 1 Meg of                     Memory

• 50MHz and 100MHz                     models

• Bright and vivid TFT                     LCD display with wide viewing angle

• USB Host and Device

• PictBridge support                     for easy printing directly from the scope

• Advanced triggering                     including Edge, Pulse, Video, Slope and Alternate.

• Pass fail testing,                     Record and playback up to 1000 waveforms, easy to use toggle                     reset on most controls

• Small footprint

The following Labview program aquires readings from the Rigol 1052E Oscilloscope and stores them in a TDMS file.

My Rigol DS1052E appears to only respond to Labview once about every 2s. I would like to be able to record waveforms more frequently (say, once every 100ms). How can I go about changing this?
