GUI Refresh rate depends on Time/Dev in Win10, witch is really annoying if you want to do sub Hz mesurement.

I have to do some measurement of really slow frequencies so i need a very slow Time/div rate. The problem is that the GUI of the Picoscope 6 only refresh after a full frame of data. So if i have the slowest Time/div with 5000s per div i have to wait for hours until a click on a button is recognized. That's Awfull. Maybe the Gui should be independent in another thread than the communication with the scope.

Are you using the scope in streaming mode with this slow timebase ?

Tested this with my 3403D scope and I can not reproduce your problem.

Hello,

Same problem here , using v6.14.36.5676 on win10 , and if I set my waveform generator channels to say 1hz , I have to wait for a whole scan before the UI reacts. Almost unusable, please fix this.

To both posters, please post a psdata or pssettings file, then I can get the team to run some tests.

I found another bug this time in the settings file, I saved the file with 3 wave generators at 1hz, and when I open the settings file they are set at 1kHz. Either way the other GUI slowdown is showing with these settings as well.. have to wait for a whole scan to register a mouse click.

side note: it would be useful to have settings files based on json or other human readable data.
