Performance dialog
The performance settings limit the speed at which PicoScope captures data from the
scope device. The other PicoScope settings, the type of scope device and the speed
of the computer will all affect whether this limit can actually be reached. PicoScope
automatically selects the appropriate limit according to whether your computer is
running on batteries or on mains (line) power.
The settings are in captures per second. By default, the capture rate is set to
"Unlimited" when your computer is running on AC Mains power, for maximum
performance. If other applications run too slowly on your PC whilst PicoScope is
capturing, then reduce the capture rate limit. When your computer is running on
Battery power, PicoScope imposes a performance limit to save the battery. You can
increase this limit manually, but this will cause the battery power to drain very
quickly.
