Chapter 11 407
Optimizing Agilent VEE Programs
Overview
Overview
In this chapter, you will learn how to improve the execution speed of VEE
programs. There are three basic components in test program performance:
the speed of taking the measurement, the rate at which the data is transferred
to the computer, and the speed at which the program processes the data. By
optimizing the VEE program, you can increase its processing speed.
In the first section, you will learn the basic principles for optimizing a VEE
program. You will also learn about Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) on the
PC. The next section describes how to optimize using compiled functions.
You will also learn about how to optimize parts of programs by linking
compiled functions in other languages on UNIX platforms. Then, there is an
overview of the VEE compiler. Finally, there is a section on the VEE
profiler.
Note The techniques in this chapter apply whether or not you use the compiler.
