2.1.8 DGI Data Polling

The communication with the Data Gateway Interface (DGI) is done through a separate C++ DLL. When a session is started, it will poll the DGI device for data each 2 ms. However, because the CPU could be busy with other tasks, the polling might happen with a longer interval.

Since the DGI device has a limited buffer, the DLL needs to poll the device regularly to avoid an overflow. Therefore, it is important to keep the CPU usage low during polling sessions. In case of overflow problems, either decrease the transfer rate on the DGI interfaces or decrease the CPU load by shutting down applications.
