Fix Data System OCX - DataItems.Add

Takes my script about 11 seconds to add 200 items to a Fix Data System group. I am using code similar to:

Set FDS = CreateObject("FixDataSystems.Intellution FD Data System Control")

FDS.Groups.Add ("DataGroup1")

FDS.Groups.Item("DataGroup1").DataItems.Add("Fix32 ..AI1.F_CV")

FDS.Groups.Item("DataGroup1").DataItems.Add("Fix32 ..AI2.F_CV")

FDS.Groups.Item("DataGroup1").DataItems.Add("Fix32 ..AI3.F_CV")

...

FDS.Groups.Item("DataGroup1").DataItems.Add("Fix32 ..AI200.F_CV")

Does anyone know how to speed this up? Is it possible to add all the items as an array or something similar?

Thanks for your help.
