I have a meter whose measurement interval I do not get higher than 1 / min. The setting does not simply produce the software and the manufacturer does not. The probe is meant to record readings for a long time. For my purposes, 1 / min is too little. 10 / min would be better.
My idea, a try is worth it:
How does the probe know what time it is? She gets the time from my laptop, which is always connected. So I want to accelerate my Windows clock by a factor of 10. 1min = 6 sec
Are there programs or settings that allow me to speed up the Windows clock?
I do not think so.
Can you also attach your device to another program? Then you write yourself a small timer, which gives the signal.
You could knit a program that sets the time every 6 seconds…
Here, for example, you will find the necessary Python code that you only need to change a little bit: https://stackoverflow.com/...e-and-time
There's not even a real program. The probe is connected via a LAN cable and I make settings via an IP address. Only the time gets the thing from the computer. It is also questionable whether the probe would also change during the measurement if the computer clock runs faster. That's what I wanted to test.
Emotionally, it seems to me a nonsense to turn on this clock. Who knows what else is accessing it and perhaps destroying it.
I also did not understand if you would like to measure in seconds or in 10 minute intervals. Do you like to tell more about the thing and its interface?
The laptop is just for the meter, that would not be bad. The probe wants to spend a maximum of one value per minute. But I want about 10 values per minute. Now wanted to fool the thing that every 6 seconds a minute has passed, so that draws again a reading.
Oh, unfortunately, I do not understand enough of that.
I have no idea if the laptop would overclock anything like that. The CPU? I do not like the idea, but maybe I'm overprotective.
This probe apparently receives a signal via an interface. The likes are: timer or something. You could now write a program that simulates this interface. It is also called Timer and gives a signal every few seconds.
But until that happens, it can be so costly that it would be cheaper to buy another probe that can. Especially when it comes to technology, people quickly get tired of it. At will. At or ebay classifieds you can find the things then for half the price or even less.
Python is not really that hard to learn. Look at a few Youtube tutorials then it will work out. I do not think you will find a ready program. Unfortunately, I have no Win PC because otherwise I would copy the few lines together.
That's a very stupid idea.
Your meter fetches the time only once to set the internal timer.
Obviously it's not suitable for what you want to measure.
Get another one.
Depends on whether it is software controlled or the meter then makes it independent… You do not know what it is…
