We conducted tests to determine the maximum transfer rate achievable with different CPUs using a Time Tagger X. Similar transfer rates can also be achieved with the Time Tagger Ultra. The transfer rate for the Time Tagger 20 is limited by USB 2.0 and, therefore, does not depend on CPU performance. This will help you estimate the performance of your CPU. These results can help you estimate your CPU’s performance. However, the actual rate you experience may differ depending on several factors. For instance, the number of background processesFor instance, the number of processes could affect performance, as well as whether the laptop is connected to power or running on battery. The rates we measured are example values and should not be considered precise or guaranteed. If you would like to repeat these tests, you can use the scripts provided in the installation folder:
