11.2.3 How to disable CPU sleep states a.k.a. C states (Windows)
Modern PC's, notebook's, etc. try to save energy by using a smart power management. For this
several hardware manufacturers specified the ACPI standard. The standard defines several power
states. For example, if processor load is not needed the processor changes to a power saving
(sleep) state automatically and vice versa. Every state change will stop the processor for
microseconds. This time is enough to cause image error counts!

To disable the power management on the processor level (so-called "C states"), you can use
mvDeviceConfigure:
Note:
With Windows XP it is only possible to disable the C2 and C3 states. With Windows Vista / 7
/ 8 all C states (1,2, and 3) will be disabled.
Warning:
Please be sure you know what you do! To turn off the processor's sleep states will lead to a
higher power consumption of your system.
