Hello MokuPro Users, I have been studying Data Acquisition using the Deep Memory Mode of the oscilloscope in this [example](https://github.com/liquidinstruments/moku-examples/blob/main/python-api/oscilloscope_deep_memory_mode.py). The following lines allow us to get a single triggered frame and save it to the buffer: ```auto i.get_data(wait_reacquire=True, wait_complete=True) response = i.save_high_res_buffer(comments="Triggered") ``` ) Is there a way to loop this so that I could acquire the frames from, say, 10 triggers in a row? My impression so far is that the action of saving from ssd buffer to hard disk, as below, causes me to miss the data from some triggers. ```auto temp_filename = FILE_PATH + "/high_res_data-" + time.strftime('%d-%m-%Y-%H_%M_%S') i.download("ssd", file_name, temp_filename + ".li") os.system("mokucli convert --format=npy " + temp_filename + ".li") ``` However, if I don’t save to disk, I imagine that I would be overwriting any data already in the data. Am I correct? And is there any way around these problems? Regards, L ---

Hello @1000NightsAKnight , Thank you for reaching out! If I am understanding correctly, you want to be able to collect a certain number of triggers (say 10) and average those. To do this using the script, change `NUM_FRAMES` to 10. This will collect a frame, download it, and add it to `ch1` which holds all of the data, then average at the end of the loop. If I am misunderstanding please let me know, but I hope this helps! ---

Thanks for the quick reply @Dylan. My precise question, though, is not whether I can eventually get 10 triggers but whether I can get 10 sequential triggers (i.e. one immediately after the other) even if I am triggering at high frequency (let’s say 10 kHz)? My impression so far is that only after I have collected _and_ downloaded a frame is the device ready to collect the next one. In which case, I will likely have missed the next immediate trigger if I am triggering at high frequency. ---

Hello @1000NightsAKnight , Since the oscilloscope is a frame based instrument, this is the correct operation. If you were to use the GUI to download a trigger event, you would not be able to capture another trigger event until the download was done which is essentially what is happening in the script. If you want a continuous stream of data, I would recommend using the Data Logger to either log data for a certain duration and download the data to post process in Python, or stream to a file and post process the data. If you need any help implementing this please let me know!
