PPK2 requested feature for PPK3

[Johan]

Hi,

we notice that the PPK2 doesn't like when we are letting it have the current reversed, ie when we are activating our PMIC to charge the battery.

This is a very good feature, to be able to allow current in both directions, and measure positive and negative current in the graph of PPK2-pc-software.

Are you planning on an updated PPK in version 3, this is a feature we would enjoy very much. 
It would help us debug easier, with not having to disconnect PPK2 when charging and then when connecting it back, our unit under test will lose all power (not wanted behavior), since it might show current bugs after disconnecting charger and we want to see what current it draws then.

Anyone else also want this feature in PPK3 ? 
PPK2 is missing in the TAGS btw, can you add it?

Best regards,

Johan

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I will bring that up with the PPK team, and see if that is something we can add in the next release.

Best regards,
Stian

Thanks Stian.

We get an error loading a saved PPK file (400MB) and need help with solving this. Shall I make a new private ticket and attach the file there perhaps?

[Stian Røed Hafskjold]

Yes, that would be great. Thanks.

Another feature we are missing is, proper scroller for long recordings. To drag the screen graph with the mouse pointer is useless and tedious when we have 3 weeks of data and want to keep a certain level of zoom to be able to see power movements. We would need as in the example picture.

Also, that the scrolling "bar" doesn't become incredibly small because of large data set, that would also make it useless.

Having cursor keys as switching a page left or right, instead of the scroller would also help.

cursor up - zoom in

cursor down - zoom out

cursor left - go one graph page left

cursor right - go one graph page right.

And please support repeating keys so a key can be held down for continuous repeating for example scrolling left. But only activate the scrolling as long as the key is held down. Otherwise the problem could become that lots of key events are recorded but the graph isn't fast enough so it's gonna scroll forever after releasing the key... not a wanted behavior.
