How to get faster response from the AQ6370C

The points for obtaining trace data faster are described below. Based on this, if the user remodels the LabVIEW driver, The transfer data size becomes approximately 1/4 as compared with the current LabVIEW driver, Speeding up is possible accordingly.

· Do not acquire wavelength axis data from OSA, only acquire level data If you transfer only level data, the transfer data size will be halved now. Data on the wavelength axis does not use the: TRACE: DATA: X? Command, Calculate from START WL, STOP WL and SMPL PT.

· Acquire the data type as binary data instead of ASCII In ASCII, one data is 17 bytes, whereas if it is Binary (64 bits = 8 bytes) The number of data is further halved. - Ikeya
