Fetch Measurement vs Reading Memory in Agilent 34461A Reading Speed

Hi there, 

 

Recently, I have succesfully connected to an 34461A Agilent and Labview, and I am trying the Acquire Triggered Multiple VI that allows me to configure the trigger and then to send a software trigger to the instrument. When the trigger is complete the Fetch Multiple Points VI is called and measurements are completed. However, I found this method very slow, In the manual I can see 50 readings per second when measuring AC voltage, however, this is really slow for a DMM. A small and cheap microcontroller will have much faster readings per second. Am I misunderstanding something? Is 50 readings per second the time for the instrument to comunicate to the PC? If so, do you have any idea how to measure the data and storage in the internal memory? That would be really fast and will allow to access the memory and read the data in a later step. 

 

Many thanks in advance

 

Cheers
