Measurement
application
The devices can be run with several applications from Vector
(e. g. CANoe, CANalyzer) or with measurement applications
from other companies. Therefor the devices require a related
license. Applications based on the Vector XL Driver Library can
be run without a license.
4.2 Hints
Note: Many desktop PCs have power managers which block the CPU for a specific
time. This impairs accuracy of the time system. If your application has stringent timing
requirements (e. g. time-driven sending of messages or time-driven evaluations), you
have to deactivate these power managers. Power management settings may be con-
tained in the BIOS setup or on the Control Panel of Windows XP / Vista / Windows 7 /
Windows 8 (e. g. Power options).
No further mention will be made of the power manager in this document.
Info: Please note that you will need Administrator Rights for the following steps.
