Hi We are using the DT8824 DAQ with our own asyn-driver and the system is working fine with few seconds sampling rate. Recently there have
been requirements to use faster sampling rates up to 0.2 seconds. Upon investigation, I could not go below 0.8 seconds, going below that will always give an empty scan record returned by the DAQ itself regardless of the ADC frequency and the number of samples
requested. The aforementioned sampling rate is implemented as a sleep in the main thread, on each iteration we do this sequence of commands: :AD:ABORT :AD:ARM :AD:INIT Sleep :AD:FETCH? As I said this has been working fine for 1 second and maybe few more seconds sampling rates. Here is the driver we wrote
https://github.com/SESAME-Synchrotron/xafs-dt8824-daq/ . Notice that the same
scenario happens in a python script we wrote that uses the same interface as the driver itself. Any feedback is highly appreciated.
