Make sure the disk drive that you’re writing the data files to is not fragmented.
Disk fragmentation develops during a long period of writing and deleting files
on the disk. Use a defragmentation utility to reduce this problem.
If you’re using a general network that is loaded by other communication,
isolate your instruments and host computer onto separate wiring and a separate
host computer interface adapter from general network communication. If you
must still communicate via the general network, consider installing two
network adapters in your host computer and communicate only with 2680
Series instruments on one adapter and wiring.

Interaction with advanced display adapter driver packages.
A very common software interaction exists between network support software
and advanced display adapter driver and support packages. If your network
software doesn’t load or operate properly, try selecting the standard display
driver in Windows Setup under the control panel. If the problems go away,
contact your display adapter vendor for the latest version of their display
adapter driver and associated support software. If using the latest version
doesn’t fix the problems, you may have to use a less capable display adapter
driver package when running the 2680 Series and other networking software.
Handling Token Ring Networks
If you need to install your 2680 Series instrument on an existing token ring
network, your network must contain a Gateway device (see Network
Interconnection Devices in this appendix). The Gateway must support both
Ethernet and Token Ring subnets, and must be capable of routing IP packets
between these two subnets. You will need to consult with your Network
Administrator about setting up the routing tables in the Ethernet to Token Ring
Gateway device to allow proper routing of IP packets.
