Hi all,
I am trying to use the chipWhisperer as a trigger for the chipShouter.
Using the Python API to configure the chipShouter and then manually arming and pulsing, I get different kind of waveforms, that change their amplitude and duration as expected.
But when I try to use the same settings through external trigger (chipWhisperer scope.glitch sma port using lowpower glitch configuration to chipShouter’s smb port) I always get the same waveform measuring through oscilloscope.
As suggested in cs manual i have set:
scope.glitch.output = "enable_only"
scope.io.glitch_lp = True
cs.hwtrig_term = False
cs.hwtrig_mode = False

Bottom left corner: 360ns width 300v using cw trigger

As you can see the pulse width looks exactly the same for the two different settings, how can i solve the problem? Thanks in advance
edit:
I don’t know if it can be helpful but another difference I have noticed is that the beep sound of the chipshouter triggers only when used manually or through python, and is not hearable when triggered via chipwhisperer
