2.4 Further notes
2.4.1 Measurement applications
Compatible software The device can be run with several applications from Vector (e.g. CANape, CANoe)
or with measurement applications from other companies. Therefore the device must
have a related license. A license for applications based on the
XL Driver Library is not
required.

Manager is started depends on which view is configured:

2.4.3 Power Manager
Timing requirements 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
must deactivate these power managers.
Power management settings may be contained:
¼ in the BIOS setup,
¼ on the Control Panel of
Windows 2000/XP/Vista (e.g. Power options).
No further mention will be made of the power manager in this document.
