GPIB communication slow

I am reading pressure from a Druck ADTS 405 at about a speed of 8 samples/sec.  This rate seems too slow.  Is there a way to get a faster rate.  I am using the VISA vi's and the NI GPIB card.  THANKS!

Re: GPIB communication slow

That depends on the instrument and the driver that you are using. Have you tried to contact the company and ask about this? Also, where did you get the driver from? Or, have you developed the code yourself?

Re: GPIB communication slow

We are upgrading to LabVIEW 2009 but still using 7.1 on most of our computers.  I developed code on the computer with 7.1 but tried NI drivers for the ADTS on a computer that has 2009 when the rate was slow on the 7.1 computer.  Data rate about the same on both computers.  I will check with the company to see if they have any recommendations.  THANKS!  I was just hoping that their could be a setting change on the NI board or something like that.

From the published specs found here

"• Five readings per second remote interface updates."

 

Sounds like you are running ABOVE the device's limit already???
