Core Timer issues while reading in stream mode

Hi Labjack Support

 

I’m using a Labjack T7 and reading AIN0, AIN2-12 and the core timer. That’s the following addresses:

 

[61520, 4899, 0, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24]

 

where the first two is: CORE_TIMER and STREAM_DATA_CAPTURE_16

 

I sometimes get the error, that the time stamps are not correct in the sense that they don’t change. For instance, I continuously get the following two values:

1.0  and 1.0 from CORE_TIMER and STREAM_DATA_CAPTURE_16 which gives time stamp =

65537.0

 

The values might not be 1.0, but the values are the same in the stream continuously. If I restart the streaming of data the error might disappear as it is a periodic error occurring maybe one out of ten initializations of the stream depending on the scan rate, settling time and resolution index. The more I demanding of the Labjack, the higher frequency of the error.

I don't get errors like STREAM_SCAN_OVERLAP or similar, just the erroneous counts from the core timer.

 

Have you any ideas of what is going wrong here?

 

Labjack:

Model: T7

Serial: 470013929

Configuration of stream:

Scanrate = 200

streamResolutionIndex = 5

streamSettlingUS= 10

 

Kind regards

I have been starting and

I have been starting and stopping stream for a while now, but haven't seen any static readings from the core_timer.

Let's start by updating your firmware and driver:

Firmware can be updated using Kipling. The beta is worth a try.

Driver updates can be found here: https://labjack.com/support/software/installers

If those don't work I think we will have to take a look at your program.
