I am confused of the speed of Python API, because I think it is much slower than desktop software moku. I want to ask how can I accelerate it.

Hi @Sushiki, the API has been written for maximum compatibility across languages but that does impact the latency of some calls. We’re working to speed up the API from common languages. Can I assume from your other post that you’re using Python? Is there any particular operation that’s especially slow, e.g. you’re looking for higher frame rates from `get_data`?
