This seems to be the problem, but it doesn't say what is causing it?
*Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs):   3014.413404*

Also, LatencyMon kept working fine when I heard a bingbong and the fire
wire link dropped out? Go figure?

_
CONCLUSION
_
Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other
tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop
outs, clicks or pops. One problem may be related to power management,
disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for
BIOS updates.
LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for  0:09:34  (h:mm:ss) on all
processors.

SYSTEM INFORMATION

Computer name:OFFICE
OS version:   Windows 7 Service
Pack 1, 6.1, build: 7601 (x64)
Hardware: ASUSTeK Computer
INC., P8Z68-V LX
CPU:  GenuineIntel Intel(R)
Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz
Logical processors:   8
Processor groups: 1
RAM:  16348 MB total


_
CPU SPEED
_
Reported CPU speed:   3502.0 MHz
Measured CPU speed:   2921.0 MHz (approx.)

Note: reported execution times may be calculated based on a fixed reported
CPU speed. Disable variable speed settings like Intel Speed Step and AMD
Cool N Quiet in the BIOS setup for more accurate results.


_
MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a
usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment
the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the
scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and
the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to
that event.

Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs):   3014.413404
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs):   4.545848

Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs):   152.313974
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs):   1.826471


_
 REPORTED ISRs
_
Interrupt service routines are routines installed by the OS and device
drivers that execute in response to a hardware interrupt signal.

Highest ISR routine execution time (µs):  146.750428
Driver with highest ISR routine execution time:   ohci1394.sys - 1394
OpenHCI Port Driver, Microsoft Corporation

Highest reported total ISR routine time (%):  0.081476
Driver with highest ISR total time:   ohci1394.sys - 1394
OpenHCI Port Driver, Microsoft Corporation

Total time spent in ISRs (%)  0.091603

ISR count (execution time <250 µs):   1322047
ISR count (execution time 250-500 µs):0
ISR count (execution time 500-999 µs):0
ISR count (execution time 1000-1999 µs):  0
ISR count (execution time 2000-3999 µs):  0
ISR count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0


_
REPORTED DPCs
_
DPC routines are part of the interrupt servicing dispatch mechanism and
disable the possibility for a process to utilize the CPU while it is
interrupted until the DPC has finished execution.

Highest DPC routine execution time (µs):  271.615363
Driver with highest DPC routine execution time:   tcpip.sys - TCP/IP

I had this problem a while back and tried everything I could think of and 
followed all the advice given.

In the end I reflashed my 5K and problem solved, should the problem come back 
again it's now the second thing I would do.
The first would be to plug in a spare hard drive on which I have a clean OS + 
PSDR installed against which I would check that the 5K
firmware was not corrupt.

I am sure you already looks at these but:


   - Make sure in the BIOS there are no CPU power saving states enabled -
   this one got me on a new system build
   - update the video drivers - not via MS updates go to the manufacturer's
   site
   - update the network drives - not via MS updates go to the
   manufacturer's site
   - any wireless lan on the computer remove

Just some thoughts

Re: [Flexradio] PowerSDR freezing

2014-07-12 Thread Paul Playford
It is too bad you have deleted your restore points.  I suggest you reinstall 
Windows and start over.  PITA, but remember - Windows is Windoz.


I have gone so far that when I get Windoz installed the way I want with the 
basic software I always use, I then create a system image.


http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/create-system-image-in-windows-7-8/


Is Windows a Virus?

No, Windows is not a virus.
Here's what viruses do:

1. They replicate quickly - okay, Windows does that.

2 Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they 
do so - okay, Windows does that.


3 Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk - okay, Windows does 
that too.


4 Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable 
programs and systems. Sigh... Windows does that, too.


5 Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow 
(see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. Yup, Windows does that, too.


Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: 
Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, 
their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become 
more sophisticated as they mature.


So Windows is not a virus.

It's a bug.

Craig, it might be a process that is communicating with the cloud. Any
connection to the Internet on a machine running PSDR may, sooner or later,
to cause trouble. And now that so many common software applications
communicate with Windows OneDrive, or Google Drive, or iCloud, or Adobe
Photosave, or whatever, the basic premise of PSDR is under attack from all
sides. Once those processes are running, even disconnecting may not solve
it, but you could try taking the computer off your network and seeing if
that improves the situation. Just a thought.

good luck!

Craig -

Sounds like it pretty much has to be a software issue within the PC. Any
new software or software updates?  And, as always, any Microsoft updates?

No problems here, but I am running an older PC for radio use only, with no
updates of any sort. And XP SP3 at that.

Perhaps someone running Win 7 has seen a similar issue.

[Flexradio] PowerSDR freezing

2014-03-14 Thread Craig Hayhow
No changes were made to my laptop, so I am starting to think the freezing
is being caused by RF. I already have ferrite's on the firewire cable. I
will try maximum separation and maybe grounding and see if that makes a
difference.

Thanks for the suggestions,

Craig

Re: [Flexradio] PowerSDR freezing, VAC issue?

2014-03-13 Thread Bill Bordy, NJ1H
I had two recent software issues that caused me some grief with VAC use 
while using WSJT-X.


One was QRZ.com changed their handling of rapid callsign searches which 
impacted DXLab's Pathfinder which in turn cause a security warning 
message to be generated which as a side effect would cause the VAC 
connection to die.


During my troubleshooting of this problem, I upgraded to VAC 4.13 which 
introduced a transmit VAC problem.


I stopped using Pathfinder which cured the receive problem and I 
reverted to VAC 4.12 which corrected the transmit problem.


There is now a new version of Pathfinder that works fine with the 
QRZ.com change.


Boy, side effects are pain. None of this may be related to your problem, 
but I am posting just in case.

PowerSDR V2.7.2 has been working fine for months and suddenly began to

reloaded PowerSDR V2.7.2 and reset the database twice and it is still
freezing. When it freezes I have to close PowerSDR and switch off the
radio, switch it back on and restart PowerSDR and it will run fine for a
while before freezing once again. I am using Windows 7 professional on a HP
I5 laptop, max DPC is 169uS and CPU~ 20%.
Does anyone have any ideas I can try?
