<p>You seem to be asking a hardware question requiring statistical programming knowledge.</p>

<p><a href="https://superuser.com/faq">SuperUser's faq</a> explicitly states that hardware-related topics are on-topic. </p>

<p><a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/faq">CrossValidated's faq</a> makes no mention of hardware-related questions as being on-topic. The closest it gets is to say that programming questions requiring <em>statistical expertise</em> to understand or answer are on-topic. </p>

<p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/faq">StackOverflow's faq</a> makes no explicit mention of hardware-related questions as being on-topic, but does state that "practical, answerable problems that are unique to the programming profession" are on-topic.</p>

<p><a href="https://scicomp.stackexchange.com/faq">Computational Science's faq</a> states that "computational methods used in technical disciplines" are on topic.</p>

<p>Your question is certainly on-topic at SuperUser, but because it requires statistical programming knowledge, it might not be exposed to an audience with the expertise that you desire. For CrossValidated, your question is a hardware question requiring statistical programming knowledge, as opposed to a programming question requiring statistical programming knowledge. I think it is technically off-topic. For StackOverflow, since your question is a hardware question requiring statistical programming expertise, it is unique to the programming profession. I think this makes it on-topic. Finally, Computational Science's faq is a bit vague to me, but a search for "hardware" on that site brings up a few questions in the same vein as yours (e.g. <a href="https://scicomp.stackexchange.com/q/1376/903">here</a>, <a href="https://scicomp.stackexchange.com/q/2146/903">here</a>, and <a href="https://scicomp.stackexchange.com/q/2192/903">here</a>).</p>

<p>Before Computational Science went into beta, I probably would have asked a question like yours on StackOverflow. You likely still can and will get good answers.  However, Computational Science seems more geared toward your question.</p>
