Hi Chris -- Two possibilities:
1. Make sure you have TimeLab set for the correct mode (timestamp vs time interval), for two channels, and for the right scaling factor (for timestamps, scale by 1). Any of those can cause 1e0-type results. 2. If the two channels have timestamps that are within a few nanoseconds, there can be a crossover where the channel sequence doesn't maintain strict "ABABABABAB" order. TimeLab expects that order and if you get something like "ABBA" apart from bad '80s music you also get bad readings. The easiest way to avoid the problem is to split the TICC output stream into the two channels and then feed them into TimeLab separately. It is possible to do that and still get real time readings by using the "Read Streaming ASCII file" TimeLab acquire option, but it takes a little finagling to do it. [ BTW -- this is not really a "bug" in either the TICC or in TimeLab, it's just the way things work. I've spent much time thinking about addressing it in the TICC code, but there's no sure-fire fix that works across all possible operating scenarios. ] Hope this helps.
