Screen capture update rate reduced significantly

I am using the PicoScope 6.0.15 with my PicoScope 5204.

I notice that when I let the software run for a long repiod, says overnight, the screen update rate reduce significantly to about 2~3 frame/sec. I've checked the Preference > Power Management > Capture Rate is set to [unlimited].

When I close the PicoScope 6 & restart it again, the screen update rate return to normal, as much as my eye can respond, about 20 frame/sec.

I don't want to restart the PicoScope 6 again & again, do I have anyway to refresh the screen update rate to normal without restarting it?

Hello CH Lai,

It may be worth taking a look at the other power saving options settings on your computer.

Presumably, there are no other applications running concurrently?

Regards
John

Hi John,

The PicoScope 6 is running alone, no other application is running at the time I observe this problem.

Hi Lai,

Presuming that you are running Windows XP, would you please zip the following file from your hard disk and send it for my attention to support@picotech.com

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Pico Technology

Could you please also submit a .psdata file and screen-shot of the 'performance' view from task manager when the slow refresh is occurring.

Regards
John
