Can I make LavVIEW run faster?

[anjie]

Ok, so if we assume that it is the buffer size and that I can afford to make it smaller, can I make it smaller, and, if so, how?

[jasonhill]

There is a VISA Set I/O Buffer Size function on the Serial palette.

Ok, so how would I determine the appropriate buffer size I should set?

hi there

the speed of transmission depends on the baud rate. this is the rate the bits in "@\n" are transferred. when the maximum baud rate is 9600, then some 100 Hz is the maximum pulse rate you can achieve with RS232 using this single shot mode...

The best and most accurate way would be to check the external trigger capabilities of your device like AnalogKid suggested. there are DIO devices for some 10s $. or you use your parallel port as trigger source (this deliverers also TTL signals, presuming your device needs TTL)

What is this SDG box?

Hi ybur,

you know that thread is ~3.5years old? And did you search on the mentioned manufacturers website?

So everything in the thread is obsolete? Is that what you are saying? What mentioned manufacturer?

If I recall, the SDG is a sync and delay generator for lasers and is (or ws?) made by Coherent:
