Light-emitting pickled cucumber energised with 240 V.

I think a pickled cucumber is called a pickle...

What is the software? How does it generate the video (or does it?)

[ChumpusRex]

@randyfromm The software is my own program. It connects to my home-made meter hardware and produces detailed analysis outputs; additionally, specifically for this channel, it also produces video subtitle files.

I then use standard video editing software (virtualdub) to merge the subtitles into the video.

For more info on the meter and software see my video: "This ain't no sangamo. Home made kWh meter".

Whats the polling rate of your power metering software?

[ChumpusRex]

@narcoti Configurable. In this case, I'd used too low a rate (1.3 sec sample duration, 0.65 second sample interval, 50% overlapped)

I normally have it set to 0.65 sec samples with 50% overlap, but forgot to check it for this video.
