SW ver 2.3.4. When I try to zoom out for more than 14 seconds the top chart goes black. It happens in Acquisition tab as well as in Profiling tab. It happens also when moving the coarse time to the right
Please advise how can I see the graph beyond 14 sec.
We recommend to perform the profiling after the acquisition is completed. With this you can see the graph beyond 14 sec. Upto 20 seconds is possible in one view. Beyond that you can use the slider bar to move across in time.
please acquire and wait for acquisition to stop by pressing the STOP button. Then the session can be zoomed in and out without any issues.
We are checking out the screen going blank. It looks like if you load the same session and try to view it as it is getting written to the disk, the problem arises.
Please use a different session name for each capture so that the other session can be viewed.
Also note that in order to view the session, you would need to go to the Sessions Tab and load the session which was captured. Without this, the older session would be displayed.
Or else, you may enable the Auto Load Session checkbox in the acquisition tab. This will automatically load the last captured session.
Whenever I start a new capture, when it is completed, the proofing displays both voltage/current at the top window, but in the detailed view there is no way to view the voltage.
Also it always captures D0 and D1 as digital input channels. How can I enable this when nothing is connected to those channels (and how enable more than those 2 if needed)?
The middle window is to view the current waveform only as the voltage waveform has very limited information (it remains mostly constant during the capture).
We would add this as an option in the coming release. Thanks for pointing this out.
For the digital capture you could click on multiple IO as shown above and all of them would be displayed on the screen. Please select them in the right order. For e.g. select all between D0 and D3..
All 8 bits are captured in all captures. Only the 2 bits are shown by default to reduce the screen clutter.
Even if you have nothing connected on the Digital IO, it still captures all zeros.
Just for your info, I am using a real system with its battery as power source. Because of that, during radio TX, my voltage drops due to the high current demand out of the battery.
The IoT power profiler is an amazing tool since it actualy shows the voltage drop.
So it does contain very usefull info...
Or I am using this in a non-intended way and I should not connect non-constant voltage sources....
Or you have discovered another great usage feature of the device!
As for the digital capture, I run this tool on a older laptop (i7) and it kind of struggles. So my idea was to give the laptop a break and limit the stored data when not using the digital inputs.
But, good to know that it captures them anyway. I assume that the compression gets rid of all that data if nothing is connected since it is a constant '0' value.
For constant digital data, the file size is very small. May be few kB per minute. On the i7, how much of the CPU % is taken by the GUI. We test it on a very old laptop with core i3 processor which runs at 1.8GHz and it still manages to run though.
You could select the slow PC option from the Acquisition tab as it reduces some graphics updates during the capture. This can help with very slow processors.
Regarding the voltage display, it is shown only in the top chart as of now. It can be easily added to the middle chart and we would add that for the next release.
We thank you for your valuable feedback. Great to know that the tool is useful for you.

We have added the voltage plot on the middle chart to show the dip in voltage. Will soon be added in the next release. Stay tuned...
