Streaming 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.
