Loop
Launches data acquisition – any programs set to 'External' will be included in the acquisition cycle.
Timing Control
DAQ board timing – The acquisition runs continuously for the number of iterations specified. Data are stored in a single .xsg file, i.e., as a single long trace (consisting of multiple 'tracelets').
CPU timing – The acquisition is discontinous; i.e., one .xsg file per iteration.
Suggested Usage
Use CPU timing if the interval between iterations is relatively long compared to the trace length, and high-precision timing of the intervals is not essential. Otherwise, use DAQ timing.
Busy mode
Sets how to handle data in CPU mode when the interval is too short
Iteration counter
Increments after each iteration.
Interval
The time in seconds between acquisition iterations. Pertains to CPU mode only.
Iterations
Specifies the number of iterations in the looped acquisition.
Last iteration time, Last start time
Self-explanatory.
