Combine Ni-Scope Waveforms

Solved!
Go to solution

I have just started a project that will be using two NI USB-5133 oscilloscopes.

 

Each scope has two channels but I need to combine the two two channel waveform displays into one four channel display. 

 

Is this even possible? Admittedly I haven't tried anything yet, it just crossed my mind when I discovered NI Instrument Studio will not combine them into one display.

 

I will be triggering the second scope with the first one's PF output, I am guessing as long as I can sync T0 the rest should just fall into place?

 

The niScope Fetch VI can output several different formats, (WDT, complex WDT, Cluster, Array, etc.) any idea what would be the easiest format to use for this purpose?

 

Anyone got an example?

If it were a PXI Scope, you could use the channel expansion feature of the Scope driver to let the driver layer manage the merging using triggers and you need to handle only one session as if it were a larger scope.
