Question

NUC vs LAPTOP

So I am stumped, which is not unusual.  If I run the SENSOR TBP on a Intel NUC it will run for a long time, days.  It I run the TBP on a lap top of common origin, it might run for 40 seconds, or a few hours, but never days.  

Both have Windows 11 and both are good computers. This happens across two NUC’s so it is not a random act of chance.  

Neil: Any thoughts?

I went through the TBP documentation last night as I now have two more and I could not find an orientation sketch.

So what happens after those 40 seconds, or few hours ?

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Errors
The errors that occur, usually the first mostly, the second occasionally and the group rarely.
I amended the CLI EXAMPLE c++ code to make the errors take up less code space, but these are coming from the closed DLL’s, 
I fail to see why the DLL’s are not given with the code?
They are unpredictable,

These accelerometers have a number of advantages with the FFT that is taking our analysis into some interesting places, that old accelerometers masked due to thermal loads

But I am over-collecting data, taking about 19.1 seconds, at 2000 Hz, split into two FFT with 16384 each and throw away about 0.5 seconds.  

These things are almost a treasure, but the code is challenging and I do not have the time to fix it as I did with 210 devices. 

The NUC has run for 2.66 days. I am amazed.
