3.2.2Streaming mode

Streaming mode is an operational mode in which the USB TC-08 unit samples data and returns it to the computer in an unbroken sequence, using the onboard clock to ensure accurate timing.

The unit can buffer up to two sets of readings at once. To avoid loss of readings, make sure that another application on the PC - including the one you are writing - does not prevent the driver from collecting readings for more than three sampling intervals.

To allow the driver to sample continuously, call the Windows Sleep() function in any sampling loops (see example below) to make sure that your application does not use too much processor time.

Hint: Try not to use a Sleep() call for less than 50-100 milliseconds, e.g., Sleep(50) or Sleep(100). If you are programming a Windows GUI application, a good alternative to sampling loops is the WM_TIMER message.
