How to increase the Talon SRX encoder update freq

I am using a Talon SRX with a quadrature encoder attached to it's data port. It is up and running and everything is working fine.

I would like to collect the encoder velocity (talon.getSpeed()) for analysis at a frequency of 50 times/sec. However, it is only being updated 10 times/sec. I understand that this is per the specification. See page 93 of https://www.ctr-electronics.com/Talo...e%20Manual.pdf.

The spec says the update frequency can be increased but I could not find out how to do it. Does anyone know how this can be done? I am using Java.

Thanks
