2.12.45 ps3000aSetEtsTimeBuffer

PICO_STATUS ps3000aSetEtsTimeBuffer
(

short handle,
__int64 * buffer,
long bufferLth

)

This function tells the driver where to find your application's ETS time buffers. These
buffers contain the 64-bit timing information for each ETS sample after you run a

block-mode

ETS capture.

Applicability

ETS mode

only.

If your programming language does not support 64-bit data, use the
32-bit version

ps3000aSetEtsTimeBuffers

instead.

Arguments

handle,

the handle of the required device

* buffer,

an array of 64-bit words, each representing the time in

picoseconds at which the sample was captured

bufferLth,

the size of the buffer array

Returns

PICO_OK
PICO_INVALID_HANDLE
PICO_NULL_PARAMETER
PICO_DRIVER_FUNCTION
