Adjust sampling frequency

[apaaris]

Dear everyone,
I wanted to have a way to decrease/increase the frequency of the measurements, I saw that it's possible to do it with the following attribute of the Telemetry class: TELEMETRY_FREQUENCY

 t1 = fastest1.get_telemetry().add_distance()
 t1.TELEMETRY_FREQUENCY = 100

Something like that would not give errors, however I suppose that the data needs to be reloaded in some way
However I do not know how to set it properly, is there a way to put it as a global variable at the beginning of a script and having it used as a setting everywhere possible?

Thank you a lot

At the beginning of the script, you can do

from fastf1.core import Telemetry

Telemetry.TELEMETRY_FREQUENCY = 100

...

t1 = fastest1.get_telemetry()

HOWEVER, this will absolutely not change the measurement frequency. It will simply upsample the data to a higher frequency. But this might actually decrease the accuracy of the data, because upsampling means creating values that were not previously there so it's kind of "guesswork".

Thanks a lot! This solved my problem!
