Thanks for reply. I'd like to use the mask or persistence to show glitches over time without the need to record data. I'm not sure what sample rate is needed yet, but I noticed this limitation in documentation. Also see that automotive scope is capable of 20MS/s.
Our USB 3.0 products can sample at up to around 20 MS/s with the PicoScope 6.12 software when used with a USB 3.0 connection, and the PicoScope 4444 can sample at up to around 16.67 MS/s.
The reason for the limitation is historically down to preserving PC resources, but as technology moves on this may well be reconsidered. I will notify the Development Team of your comments.
Hi Benno. Good quantification of the constraint. The lack of response speaks to resource constraints. I too would like this answered as this feels like an unnecessary bottleneck.
I agree. The limit is absurdly low, and having a limit like this is defies normal PC software conventions anyway. If I open too many spreadsheets my computer will eventually run out of memory and crash. But would be my problem.
People have been asking for this for years. It doesn't have to be the default. It can be buried in some menu option with a disclaimer pop-up for all I care. Just let me do what I want! /rant over
