waveform view update rate/smoothness

Post by metebalci »

I feel sometimes the views are freezing (PicoScope 7 with 4424A, connected to USB 3 port). It is not easily visible, so I am not talking about an obvious freeze, but I think it looks like sometimes it is stopping and waiting for something. Is this type of issues somehow be monitored ? e.g. is it indicated somewhere that there is an issue with data streaming ? I am only using 1MS/s and 3 channels, so I think it should not be a problem but I am not sure if I should look for a problem or if this is a graphics issue only.

Re: data streaming problems can be identified ?

I just read the "The USB bottleneck myth debunked" post and I guess I am asking this wrong. I dont mean raw data streaming as I understand the unit only sends the waveform image over USB. To make it clear, I took a screen capture (of XY view, ~1MS/s, no trigger), to me, it looks like sometimes it is stopping, or maybe I am mistaken. Because of the size of the video, I uploaded it to youtube:
