Dear Grozomah (and everyone on this post),

I have tried to use your code but have been unsuccessful in getting output that makes sense. The only changes that I have made to your code is changing the trigger_voltage variable. Currently I am testing the code by using a function generator but the code is "collecting data" at seemingly wrong values. For example, I set trigger_voltage to 1V and the code triggers at some value less than 1V. Could you also explain what you mean by "[1V...~600 RP units]"?

Sorry for my lack of understanding and probably vague question but I am a complete novice when it comes to the Red Pitaya.

I want to thank Grozomah and trollhassel for their source code.
They work very well for my application.

Hi,

after the successful test of posted codes, my next attempt is to add also decimation 2 and to transfer data as uint16 instead of uint32.

:) i bought it ! Very sexy little machine ! ... however ,

... attempting to discover this "triggered high speed acquisition" program, the compilation phase refused to give me an executable and i wonder why : this is the error message copied from the console...

i had everything cloned from the git repository and this should have worked ?... apparently some links have been lost before the compilation.
Question : what should i have done?
Should i import some other things into the examples directory before the compilation?
Is there a specific FPGA image i should have setup before compiling?...

Did anybody experienced this before me? can you help me?

kindest regards,

mbr

Hi,

I successfully implemented the code by "Grozomah" (thanks a lot!). While the program works well when I read out and self-trigger o n e channel, I am not sure what I have to do so that I can read out both channels, each individually self-triggered. (Essentially I need time stamps both for channel A and B plus roughly a dozen ADC values around each trigger time).

I am not an expert in data acquisition. In the program, so I may be missing an obvious solution. It seems that I can choose in osc_fpga_set_trigger(triggerbit) either to trigger on channel A or on channel B but not both individually; at least I have not found a hint that I can use a bit pattern. Since I finally need to measure time correlated signals for both channels that may be up to 1 ms apart, I guess, it will not work that I trigger only on one channel and search in the memory for a correlated signal in channel B. What I tried was to run two processes, one - triggered on channel A - on the first and one - triggered on channel B - on the second CPU core. In this way, I independently fill files. This works fine for a minute or so, but then the acquisition stalls. I assume that there is a conflict of two processes addressing the same FPGA.

Does anybody have an idea on how I can use both channels on the Red Pitaya independently by setting different trigger thresholds for channel A and for channel B?

Cheers, Lutz

I know this post is from several years ago, but if anybody could provide compilation instructions, that would be greatly appreciated! Cloning the linked github repositoring and doing

Code: Select all

$ make trigger 
I get the following output

Code: Select all

gcc   trigger.o   -o trigger
/usr/bin/ld: error: trigger uses VFP register arguments, trigger.o does not

trigger.c includes the file fpga_osc.h with

Code: Select all

#include "fpga_osc.h"
. the fpga_osc.h file seems to declare all the functions that the compilation complains about as "undefined references". Sorry if this is a basic question, I am not well versed in compiling C programs. Thank you in advance for any advice!

https://forum.redpitaya.com/viewtopic.p ... 177#p33177

The problem seems to be that the Github repository included the compiled output, and some of it was build for ARM soft-float and there was a mixture of Arm hard-float and soft-float. The Red Pitaya boards all use ARM hard-float.

Deleting the previously complied output still in the repo fixed the problem for me and allows make to compile make (all).

Thank you! Yes, this was my simple issue
