tek4010 is too slow or choppy on slow systems #37

Closed rricharz closed 8 months ago

rricharz commented 8 months ago

tek4010 version 1.8 or later may not run fast enough on slower systems such a Raspberry Pi 3 in full screen mode. The emulation of the fading spot requires too much computer resources in in such a situation. Use version 1.9 or later and call tek4010 with the -fast option. The bright drawing spot is still emulated.

The -fast option has been added in version 1.9 of tek4010 to handle this situation. -fast is used automatically for baud rates above 19200.
