Hello,
We are using Agilent Data Acquisition System 34970A for acquiring temperature data and Agilent VEE 9 software for monitoring the same data through a GPIB - USB cable.
In a single program we are scanning and recording around 40 different temperatures and also performing some other calculations. The program is running in a continuous loop and taking around 6 seconds to execute once, i.e. we are getting two sets of data at an interval of 6 sec.
Is it possible to reduce this execution time? We need temperature data for every second.
We are encountering the same problem in both Windows XP and Windows 7 operating system.

When you do a Read the data will come back to VEE in an array.
This is much faster than having VEE make one measurement at a time. To achieve highest speed you may have to adjust the trigger timing. Read the 34970A manual. there's a lot of info there.
