Small efficiency improvement to FTDI code, optimising writing of averaged values and standard deviations to file.
- CSV file format is now a column of: average value, standard deviation.
- liveFit now also writes (x,y) points to output CSV file.
Benchmarked FTDI code on Raspberry Pi, approximate average time per acquisition below:
- 170us with collecting and converting to hex
- Hiccups with writing hex to file, 180us roughly. If no hiccups, keeps up with 170us
- 530us with calculation of decimals for measurement record and rolling average, but not writing hex data to file.
- 650us with calculation of averages and errors at 50Hz, but not writing hex or average values to file.
- 750us with everything
Largely working on HEP summer school this week and next week.
Invited by Spyros to give a seminar for PART sometime in May.
Will meet with Clive tomorrow to further discuss daisy-chain problems.
