NI Scope Multirecords Plugin

Overview

NI Scope Multi-Records Panel allows you to record multiple waveforms based on the trigger setting in the NI-Scope Configuration file. Only support single instrument session (allow multiple channels, but all must be within one single instrument).

How To Use

Basic Configuration

First, use the normal NI Scope front panel to adjust the desired scope settings and export as .niscopeconfig file (Gear >> Export >> Driver Configuration).

Then, use the NI Scope Multi-Records Panel to load the configuration file (Configuration File Path). Set the desired Number of Records to repeat the acquisition. Adjust the Horizontal Position and Record Length, to overwrite the original settings.

Change Configuration of Horizontal Position and Record Length

When Delay Mode On, the Horizontal Position will be in seconds to configure the Trigger Delay. When Delay Mode Off, the Horizontal Position will be in percentage to confiugre the Reference Position - proportion of pre-trigger samples vs post-trigger samples. To find these settings on NI Scope native soft front panel, click the ... button >> Horizontal. By default, the Delay Mode is On.

The unit of Record Length can be either percentage or seconds. When Length Unit is Percentage, 100% is the original record length. When Length Unit is seconds, you can set to any positive value for exact length in time, or set to zero or less to use the original record length.

You can also read the Horizontal Position and Record Length settings from the configuration file. Click the Get Configuration in File button to reset the settings on the panel.

Export Displayed Data or Stream Records to File

A quick way to export records shown on the graph is by right clicking it >> Export feature of LabVIEW graph to export records into other formats:

However, the graph on the panel will only display the latest 10 records of all channels. To ensure all the records are saved, specify the Stream To File Path to a new or existing TDMS file.

Following shows an example of the TDMS group and channel names after save records into file:
