If when running the Quintic High Speed USB 2 camera, record speeds of over 200fps are not being achieved, it may be
due to the computers processor not running at full speed. Computers are now being fitted with new power saving or
‘Green’ Modes, so the processor only works at the rate it requires to try and optimise performance. To achieve the
highest video recording speeds possible the processor has to be running at full speed. The computers processor can be
forced to run at full speed by using the IDSProIdleConfig program.
To ensure that the camera runs at when the Quintic system is used, please follow these instructions.
Connect the camera to the computer and then double click on IDSProIdleConfig (see below) icon which can be found
on your desktop or on the Installation CD. (If on CD please copy the program to your desktop.)
This will open the window below,
Once the tick boxes have been unchecked, close the window and load up your Quintic Software. Open the live camera
feed, you should now be able to record at higher frame rates.
Once you have finished using your Quintic Software, click on the IDSProIdleConfig icon again and recheck the tick
boxes, to return your processor to its normal running state.
N.B. Using the IDSProIdleConfig to force the processor to run at full speed does cause the battery life to decrease!, it is
adivisable that when running this program and the camera that the laptop or computer is plugged into Mains power.
Un-tick the two check
boxes, this forces the
processor to work at full
power.
