When RadiMation is slow when a certain amplifier is turned check the follow thing(s).
* Is the amplifier in remote mode?

Some amplifiers, in local mode, have the unwanted behaviour of being detectable on the GPIB bus, but not responding to any commands send to the device. This can cause a delay because the first part of the GPIB protocol, in other words the detection or low level handshaking, is working correctly. The second part of the communication is not working because the machine is not responding causing time out delays. These delays can introduce slow behaviour of RadiMation®. The easiest solution is to put the amplifier in remote mode. Another solution is to not include the amplifier in the amplifier control window.
