Slow TKTDS 1K2K Example.vi

[Rune@Kongsberg]

Hi!

I have downloaded the driver for Tektronix TDS 2014 and connected a signal generator (Agilent 33120A) to the oscilloscope.
I am making a program in labVIEW but are having problems because the oscilloscope seems to react quite slow.
When I tried to run the TKTDS 1K2K Example.vi. it took 5 or 6 seconds before it finished. I assumed it would take less than 2 seconds to complete.
Do you know why it takes this long? Please tell me if there is a way to make the example go faster.

Thanks
Rune AO

Hello Rune,
The best way to tell what is taking up all the time is to run NI Spy in the background. You can see time stamps of all the calls and see what commands are taking the longest. It may just be that it takes a while for the TDS 2014 to send all its data back.
