Feature request: slower statistics frequency options

Hello!
Long-time fan of Joulescope! Love the product and the community.

I find that my csv statistic files grow quite large, and I don’t need data at 1Hz. How about some slower logging rates, like 0.5Hz, 0.1Hz, 0.05Hz, and 0.01Hz options for “Statistics frequency.” For those really long logging sessions. Thanks for considering this.
Cheers,
MH

Hi @MostlyHarmless - thanks for the feature suggestion! You can already do this today with the downsample_logging.py example using the --downsample command-line option.

Where do you want this feature? Joulescope UI? Python API? other?

When it comes to longer than one second, in my opinion, the only meaningful steps are: once per 6 seconds, once per 10 seconds, and once per minute. Unfortunately 0.016 (repeating 6) Hz is not great to express. Even once per minute for a year is less than 1048576 enties (Excel’s row max).

The Joulescope UI. I don’t always have python handy on the various computers running my tests. I will keep downsample_logging.py in mind though.

And the specific interval is not too important IMO. Just something slower. Once per 6 seconds, once per 10 seconds, and once per minute would be great.

Thanks for taking a second look at this.
Cheers,
Matt
