Hog III DMX Dynamic Refresh Rate?

I'm currently working with a company that makes a DMX recorder that's giving me fits when I try to use it with the Hog III consoles (Hog III and Hog 3PC).

Their engineer seems to think it has to do with the Hog III either not being set at a high enough refresh rate (mine is currently set at 25, which I think is the default and should be sufficient) or because the Hog could be in what he calls a "dynamic DMX mode". I've never seen such a mode anywhere on the system, and can't find anything now. Any idea? I'm definitely seeing drops in the DMX data, especially when I bring up menus and whatnot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Brad,

    The DMX recorder we're trying to use is a Swisson XRC-150. We previously tried their XRC-100 and had similar problems, and upgraded when this one came out. I've been working with their engineer in Switzerland, and can give you his info if you'd like that.

    As for consoles this has worked well on, unfortunately (in this case) we're pretty brand specific, sticking almost exclusively to the Hog consoles, of which all have the same problems (Jands Eschelon, Hog 3PC, Hog III). We also have conventional consoles like the Leprecon LBX series, which work fine with it, but I haven't tried it with other consoles that are controlling movers.

    Thanks for all your help.
