Block capture mode

This is the default mode used by PicoScope software. The scope stores data in internal buffer memory, then processes it and transfers it to the PC before starting the next block.

In the illustration shown, the buffer memory is shared between the two channels on the oscilloscope, allowing two waveforms to be captured in a single run.

Block capture mode gives access to the scope’s fastest real-time sampling rates.

The internal buffer memory can be segmented to allow many waveforms to be collected.  Acquisitions continue on a first-in-first-out basis until stopped by the user, or unless the scope is set to "Single" trigger.
