Picolog 6.1 quite high CPU usage even at idle

Post by design360 »

Hi,

Is someone able to tell me if the CPU usage at idle for Picolog 6.1 of over 20% continuously is normal? And if so why is it so high and is this something that is being actively developed to reduce?

Ian.

Hi Ian,
What O/S are you using ?
Which version of the PicoLog 6 software are you running ?
What Pico devices are connected to the PC, and how are they configured in the software ?


It is advisable to ensure you are running the latest stable version of the software-

I seem to have forgotten to follow up on this question.

It is still an issue even with later versions of the software.
The PC is currently an ACER V5-171 with an i3217U, 6Gb RAM and a SSD.

I have attached a Task Manager screenshot showing typical CPU values at idle, although it can drop a bit lower sometimes. I guess that this is the price we pay for progressing on from the simpler interface and features of the old v5 software. I need to use a more powerful PC I guess.
