Setting the Cache Test and Use Control Options
Using SETUP, you can enable or disable your computer’s
internal cache (built into the microprocessor). The default
setting for the Internal cache option is Enabled.
You may need to disable the cache if it malfunctions or if you
use timing-loop-dependent software that requires a slower
system speed. Check your software documentation to see if this
is necessary.
