Note:
Modifying the sleep states using mvDeviceConfigure does only affects the current power
scheme. For notebooks this will e.g. make a difference depending on whether the notebook
is running on battery or not. E.g. if the sleep states have been disabled while running on
battery and then the system is connected to an external power supply, the sleep states
might be active again. Thus in order to permanently disable the sleep states, this needs to
be done for all power schemes that will be used when operating devices.
Start mvDeviceConfigure.1.
Go to tab "Settings" and unselect "CPU Idle States Enabled".2.
Figure 26: mvDeviceConfigure - Settings
The sleep states can also be enabled or disabled from a script by calling mvDeviceConfigure like
this:
mvDeviceConfigure.exe set_processor_idle_states=1 quit
or
mvDeviceConfigure.exe set_processor_idle_states=0 quit
The additional quit will result in the application to terminate after the new value has been applied.
Note:
With Windows Vista or newer mvDeviceConfigure must be started from a command shell
with administrator privileges in order to modify the processors sleep states.
