Section of the data collected with PCI 1422 card connected to a CCD camera looks step-like

I am using the PCI 1422 card with a DALSA CA-D1-0128T camera to acquire and save fluorescence data from a heart stained with a potentiometric dye. The camera is set to work at 490 frames per second. My acquisition program (made using a producer consumer loop in Labview 2009) works fine most of the times, but sometimes a small section of the collected data looks step-like (not continuous). I have attached herewith a word document containing a snap of the data. Could you please give me some suggestions as to why this happens and how can I rectify it? 

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Uky,

How often is sometimes? Is it periodic?

Thanks and have a great day.

Yes it is periodic. I put that card in a different machine and the problem got solved, so I think there was something wrong with the CPU. Although that CPU has a 4 GB ram and it has a 2.7 GHz processor.  

 

Thanks

Hi Uky,

It could be another program on your machine taking priority over the CPU. You might want to look into that. Thanks and have a great day.
