●
On Windows operating systems, the fast socket driver must be installed.
●
The application program must be run with root/administrator rights.
●
The fast settings must be enabled with the function
rssgu_useFastSettings
(see also Chapter 10.3.5, "Enabling Fast Settings" , on page 128).
The instrument driver automatically uses the fast settings method whenever possible,
