Faster readings with Agilent 53181 frequency counter

Hello to all,

I have an agilent 53181 and a 53132 frequency counter. I am trying to get fast measurements (as close to 10 readings/second, if possible), with a 0.1 second gate time. However, the closest I've gotten is only 1 reading ever 0.55 seconds. This is the code I'm using:

freqcounter = gpib('NI', 0, 3);
fprintf(freqcounter, '*RST; OPC?');              %%reset instrument
fprintf(freqcounter, ':FREQ:ARM:SOUR IMM; :FREQ:ARM:STOP:SOUR TIM; FREQ:ARM:STOP:TIM .1');                            %%arm with 0.1 gate time
fprintf(freqcounter,' :CALC:MATH:STATE OFF');    %%recommendations
fprintf(freqcounter,':CALC2:LIM:STATE OFF');     %%from 
fprintf(freqcounter, ':CALC3:AVER:STATE OFF');   %%agilent
fprintf(freqcounter, ':HCOPY:CONT OFF');         %%app 
fprintf(freqcounter, ':ROSC:SOUR INT');          %%notes
fprintf(freqcounter, ':ROSC:EXT:CHECK OFF');     %%to improve
fprintf(freqcounter, ':DIAG:CAL:INT:AUTO OFF');  %%sample rate
fprintf(freqcounter, ':DISP:ENABLE off');        %%turn off display
fprintf(freqcounter, 'FREQ:EXP1.38800000');      %%expected frequency

for ii = 1:10
   tic
    freq = query(freqcounter, 'READ:FREQ?')      %%loop to read 10 times
   toc; 
end

I wrapped the tic/toc around the frequency query to record the time it takes to send/read. Do you guys have any recommendations or past experiences?

Thank you so much!
