ACQUISITION_START_TIME

Hello,

 

I'm trying to define ACQUISITION_START_TIME to Tektronix DPO3034 through USB interface with CVI.
I managed to install the driver and can communicate with the oscilloscope.
When I write the delay value (3.5334E-005) this is what i get from the Spy:

1.  IviScope_SetAttributeViReal64 (DPOScope, NULL, ACQUISITION_START_TIME, 3.5334E-005)
Process ID: 0x00001534         Thread ID: 0x00000874
Start Time: 17:29:42.456       Call Duration 00:00:00.015
Status: 0 (VI_SUCCESS)

That means that the right command was passed.

But... the delay in the scope comes with 0.4us resolution. That means that i can get ACQUISITION_START_TIME values of only 3.56E-005, 3.6E-005 etc.

This is what I get in the spy with GetAttribute command imeddiatley after the above SetAttribute command:

4.  IviScope_GetAttributeViReal64 (DPOScope, NULL, ACQUISITION_START_TIME, 3.56E-005)
Process ID: 0x00001534         Thread ID: 0x00000874
Start Time: 17:34:11.995       Call Duration 00:00:00.016
Status: 0 (VI_SUCCESS)

(The actual delay on the scope screen is also 3.56E-005...)


Thank you for your assistent!
