Hi, thanks a million for solving that guys! The problem with the memory leaks looks fine now with the new version of the DLL and libraries files. However, i realise that there is a maximum usage (100%) of the CPU usage from monitoring the task manager. Hmmm... Does this mean anything? As I will be r...

In addition to my earlier post, i would like to ask whats the significance of the number "18439" of the overview buffer size in the ps3000_run_streaming_ns command that is found in the example C++ program? Why is this particular number chosen?
ThankYou! :D

Hi, thanks for your solution. I realise that my automation program call ps3000_run_streaming_ns() everytime it begins on a new start cycle. Each time i call this function it allocates new buffer to the computer's memory by address and not freeing it. Thus the computer's memory runs out over time and...
