Exposing the Functionality to Set the Resolution

[stefano-tronci]

Hi! This software is amazing and I am making some good use of it. I am using it through python.

I have a PicoScope 5442D. As far as I understand, this device supports 16 bit resolution when using up to 2 channels. However, it seems to me that the data is always acquired at 14 Bit resolution (even when using 1 or 2 channels only).

My questions are:

• Is there a way to set the resolution? (I couldn't find any)
• If this functionality is not exposed, would it be possible to add it? Maybe a desired resolution could be set by the enable_channel method, or the start_streaming method (of course, these function would figure out whether that is possible and fallback to the closest possible resolution if not).

Is there a way to set the resolution?

Not currently!

I think the best way to do this would be to automatically select the highest possible resolution for the channel configuration.

Since publishing to Pypi the other language bindings have been moved to this repository but I can't remember why I did this!

That's a pretty good solution, it definitely would work for my application. If you plan to implement this I will be looking forward to this feature!
