1) In the scale of things 1 write/second is not thrashing. 100/sec might be classified that way.
2) The C run-time with buffer the data anyway. So don't worry. Dave -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jerome Peters Sent: 17 May 2010 07:51 To: '[email protected]' Subject: [time-nuts] EZGPIB writing to a file - disk thrashing When using the Prologic USB-to-GPIB adapter and the EZGPIB (Ulrich Bangert) software to log results of HP5334A to a file - do you worry about thrashing your hard drive? If for example you are taking one measurement per second, then does it make sense to try to queue-up 60+ measurements before writing to a file? Or does the software/OS (Win7 in my case) take care of that?
