Ian,  

yes, you are correct. 4 channels @ 200 kHz is equal to 1.6 MB/s for continuous 
data acquisition.

I am collecting only 1/10 of the second in one cycle.  So I am collecting only 
0.16 MB, which is stored to internal memory.  After I collect these 0.16 MB, I 
drop the process priority to 0, and transfer data to the NAS storage.  The new 
data acquisition cycle doesn't start until all data is transferred and 
processed (so I am running more-or-less single threaded process)  

Currently I collect / run about 15 cycles in 10 sec in "scanning mode" which is 
switched to 1 cycle every 2 seconds if I find a detection (so there is approx 
0.7 delay between each cycle in scanning mode and 2 sec delay in "detection" 
mode, which should be enough for OS to handle other interrupts).

Unfortunately TS-ADC24 is freezing even with this duty cycle (collecting for 
1/10 of the second and then idle for 1.9 seconds)

Any suggestions what can be done?
