\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Setup the 9103 for High-Speed Sampling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 9103 has two different modes of operation &#8211; high-speed and standard-speed. These run the serial COM ports at different baud rates, so the port needs to be opened at the appropriate rate (the 9103 recalls the last baud rate used). This application does not detect \/ switch modes, but in our last post we programmed a utility to do just that &#8211;  it&#8217;s part of the set of python scripts included in the download.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only difference between the code to open the port in standard speed or high speed is the baud rate (57.6k for standard, 230.4k for high) . All oher parameters are the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">High vs. Standard Speed Interval Sampling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When interval sampling in Standard-speed mode, only the &#8216;I&#8217; command is available, which provides one sample per message. High-speed mode adds an additional command &#8211; &#8216;i&#8217; &#8211; which passes 10 samples per message, thereby reducing the round-trip overhead per sample. You would typlically only use this command for speeds faster than 40 samples \/ sec., however if can be used at slower speeds. We run a slower speed in our sample application to make it easier to observe the sample messages in the terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(You would probably not choose to use the &#8216;i&#8217; command for slower sampling rates, because it can only provide one stability warning and range for every 10 samples<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parsing the High Speed Sample Messages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The format for a High-speed sample includes the range and units, along with 10 samples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><code>&amp;s=,Range=002nA,+0.0013,+0.0012,+0.0012,+0.0012,+0.0013,+0.0012,+0.0012,+0.0011,+0.0012,+0.0012,nA<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this application, we write to a data-logging file just as we do in the Standard-speed Python application. However, we need to parse the 10 sample data to produce a similar, one-sample-per-line output if we want to be able to use the data interchangeably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only difference between the samples is that the High-speed samples are prefaced with a lower-case &#8216;s&#8217; (which could be easily replaced if necessary):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
