If it's just running out of high order bits in a counting register, I can fix that with a post-collecting pass. You could hack the collecting software to do it. In one sense, it's nice to keep the collecting software clean and simple and log exactly what goes in to it, but if you collect enough data, then the extra pass gets annoying enough that I would take the time to fix the collection step and double check things so I'm pretty sure it won't turn into a source of problems. -- These are my opinions.

Hal, I thank you for the answer, but I'm not a scientist like many of you but just an amateur so I'm not able to do what you suggest. Unfortunately I need a plug and play tool without post processing.

Hi There are a lot of “stock” programs out there that will handle this sort of “wrap” process. The obvious gotcah is porting them to accept the output of the device.
