Hello,
Have you tried to exclude these files from the anti-virus scan process using files / directories exclusion (*.pwk; *.psl, c:\MyData, etc.)? Most anti-virus software support something like this.

The "Continuous Time" and "Continuous Distance" modes have been optimized and you can now take as much as 50 points / second with the Romer arm. If you got a Faro arm, around 250 points / second.

Have a nice day!

Could you do this manually (toolbar button or menu)? If so, display the "Command History" window and copy / paste the output in your script. You may need to modify the output but at least, you get a pretty good idea of the keywords to use.

Hello GoBeavs,
I don't know your setup nor Perceptron but here are a few comments:
1) USB 3.0 specification is completed by now. New devices shall hit the marker soon and work 10x faster (max theoritical speed with USB 2.0 was 480 Mbit/s). For information, you can visit http://www.usb.org
2) With setup #2, verify that you do not slow down other users while scanning (and vice-versa) and experience disconnection problems. A basic test would be to use another computer on your the network and copy some files from it computer to the network while you're scanning. Repeat in the opposite direction (from network to the computer). If you execute this test more than once (to average the results for instance), it could be a good idea to restart the computer each time (to remove any "File Cache" effects.).
3) Finally, 2 dedicted network cards within the same computer might be the best setup.

Hope this helps.
Best Regards

Augusto is right. If you experiment problems, you should try to:
1) Try to disable the Bluetooth/IrDA/MISC/Zigbee/Wi-Fi stuff completely.
2) If #1 cannot be done, try to disable incoming requests from other devices (direct connexion or discovery requests). Otherwise, your computer will sniff periodically to detect a master device. As an added benefit, you will save power on a laptop.
3) If #1 cannot be done, try to disable outgoing requests to other devices (automatic discovery for instance). As an added benefit, you will save power on a laptop.
4) Always consider to replace a wireless mouse or keyboard...

Best regards.

If your network administrator is reluctant to disable the anti-virus, try to exclude the newly created files from the anti-virus scan process using files / directories exclusion (*.pwk; *.psl, c:\MyData, etc.). Most anti-virus software support something like this.
