I do this with a pipe from my data acquisition program to pgnuplot = (on Windows 7 professional). I am using gnuplot 4.6.0 with a slightly modi= fied pgnuplot.exe - the only thing I changed was increasing the timeout per= iod from 1s to 3s (1s was not enough time on my system - don't know why). I notice that sometimes gnuplot freezes during the experiment and I have to= do a hard reboot of the system - task manager is unable to stop gnuplot - = the system is frozen solid. Today, I tried rebooting the computer normally between experiments to see i= f this would prevent the problem, but on the second experiment (after the r= eboot), I still ran into this problem. I have used this approach of piping to gnuplot from the data acquisition pr= ogram with two other setups in our laboratory - one was same experiment (so= same acquisition program), but on computer with Windows XP, and the other,= a different experiment with a computer running Windows 7 (I think professi= onal version, as well) - but have not encountered this problem with these s= ystems. Any ideas what may be going on, or how I can figure out what is causing thi= s? Thanks in advance for any help, Jason McLafferty
