Number of memory segments (this should be equal or more than the number of
captures required)
// set the number of waveforms to 100

Comment: these variables have been set as an example and can be any valid value.
pParameter
will be set true by your callback function
lpReady
.
while (!pParameter) Sleep (0);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
for (int c = PS3000A_CHANNEL_A; c <= PS3000A_CHANNEL_B; c++)

(
handle,

);
}
}
Comments: buffer has been created as a two-dimensional array of pointers to shorts,
which will contain 1000 samples as defined by
MAX_SAMPLES
. There are only 10
buffers set, but it is possible to set up to the number of captures you have requested.
