ViewPort config-strings for recording a pulsetrain just once

[StefanL38]

Hi,

I would like to know how the config-strings for ViewPort must be written to do the following:

an IR-receiver creates a pulsetrain when receiving a command of an IR-remote-control.
I want viewport to stay ready to record the pulsetrain and start recording the pulsetrain when the first pulse comes in on IO-pin number 3
Viewport should record the pulsetrain and stop recording after 200 milliseconds. No more datareceiving no more updating of any view.
I want to know the basic setup to do this and how I can configure the sampling-resulotion.

I haven't been able to do this yet. I think this is a major use of a digital storage oscilloscope. So my opinion is that this configuration should be inluded in the samples and in the manual of ViewPort.

best regards

Stefan

Can't help you with the Viewport question, but I have a comment for you because of your other recent threads.

I also experimented with some remote controls a while ago. Some behave different than you might expect. For example there are remote controls which have a flipping bit - flipping a bit with each repeat. Other remote controls send the signal for a few ms and then switch to a much simpler repeat-code.

So, if you really want to have a device that accepts all possible codes and maybe send all possible codes you have to watch more than one periode.

Hi Stefan,
Sounds like you just want to set the timescale of the Logic State Analyzer view and set a trigger for pin 3?
Here's a config string from tutorial #1 "Four bit counter":
vp.config(string("lsa:view=io,timescale=1ms,trigger=io[16]r"))
This tells ViewPort that:
- the LSA should view the "io" channel.
- the timescale per division is 1mSec
- that it should trigger on the "r"ising edge of pin 16 of the IO channel.
Once you've captured a trace you zoom in/out or drag the trace to the left/right to see additional detail. You can use QuickSample with up to 4 cogs to sample at configurable timescales up to 80million samples/second. For slower data you can continuously "stream" data across at 2mbsp- that works out to 50ksps at 32bit/sample.

ViewPort supports "single-shot" triggers as well. Just suffix your trigger configuration string with a "!" like this:
vp.config(string("lsa:view=io,timescale=1ms,trigger=io[16]r!"))
When you're in DSO mode viewing analog instead of digital values, the configuration can look like this:
vp.config(string("dso:view=cntr,timescale=50ms,trigger=cntr>.5,bgnd=yellow"))

Once the trigger has fired, acquisition will stop...
