Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi everyone,

hope you are all safe and sound.

I need some help to solve a synchronization problem using Areadetector and its Plug-ins.

We would need to get different pieces of data from a camera and a Picoscope (Oscilloscope). The idea is to get data from the Picoscope and the average of the image at a certain rate, and the image itself at a 10th of this rate. I was wondering if there's an option to save via JPEG or HDF5 (which take care also of the time synchronization of the two) at different rates than the rate acquisition of the StdArray: for example if the frame rates of the camera and the Picoscope are at 10frames/s (we want an image for every second, and we want 10 sample of picoscope/average image per image), the image is saved every second and the picoscope/average of image 10 times per second. The reason is that we do not need that many images but mainly we are interested in the Picoscope and image average and we want to save some space.

Thank you,

Kind regards,

Matteo Ciarchi
