Data acquisition and system resources • Recording data in real time requires the computer to be 100% available. Evidence suggests that this is not the case of a computer running Microsoft Windows. • A computer performing acquisition should be fine tuned. • Disable: • antivirus software • automated updates • on-line chat applications • Unplug or deactivate unnecessary devices (network adapter / WiFi, …) • Windows themes and special effects may reduce acquisition quality by creating unforeseeable system response delays. • Switch to Windows "classic mode" (Windows 2000/XP) and/or turn off Windows themes (or Aero). 10-12 April 2012, Mshs, University of Poitiers, France
[ Eye and Pen 2] • Windows Firewall will prevent Netsync from working properly. We advise you to disable this firewall for the duration of the data acquisition. The Eye and Pen Web site (http://www.eyeandpen.net) provides a number of hints on these topics (see FAQ section, Acquisition). 10-12 April 2012, Mshs, University of Poitiers, France
