Re: AD conversion time too long for Advantec PCI 1710 board

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the answer. The point is that we are trying to control the 
speed of an induction motor and the timing is very resctrict - we need 
one thread to make 06 AD readings in less than 100us! - that's the 
point. Maybe the hardware can't do that (if there is  a lot of 
iniatiating overhead as you pointed out).

Cheers,
Francisco Mota.
