Is there a way to use a sample rate around 1Hz in Pixelpulse?

I can use the Python API and do all my own graphing, but if
Pixelpulse could do it then ... less work more fun.

Use case: testing health of NiMH cells, for charge and discharge.

Try adding an option to "config-sample-rate" in pixelpulse.html, something like " <option value=1>1</option>" 

With that low of a rate, you may run into issues with USB buffering - I'd try at 100 and go from there.

Thanks, I tried that, see diff [1], was able to select a sample rate
of 1, but when I start sampling the values displayed on the right hand
side flickered rapidly, the trace was offset one second to the left,
and the trace was always flat, showing no history. See screenshot
[2].

Hmm. I'll look into it - our UI was definitely optimized for a few orders of magnitude more data, but I would have expected it to behave better than you've described. The ability to zoom out to hour-scale is on the list for the next rev of pixelpulse.

Take your time. I'm using the Python API for this task now, with
external plotting using gnuplot.
