n/a
Start
Start the acquisition.
External
Activate external triggering for this program.
Trace length
Duration of data I/O (in seconds). For long values (greater than 1200000 samples), the board is switched to continuous mode, and may run indefinitely long (including Inf). Continuous mode, and very long trace lengths in general, should be limited to situations using disk logging or not saving data at all.
Update Rate
How often the trace is updated in the display window, in Hz.
Display Width
The width of the online display (scopeObject) in seconds. Only takes effect when AutoWidth is unchecked.
Auto Width
When enabled, this is the default, and mimicks the classic behavior. All online trace displays (scopeObjects) will be set with a width that matches the Trace Length.
Channels
List of all available channels, as specified/configured in the Ephus start file.
Acq On
Check/uncheck to include/exclude the currently selected channel in the acquisition.
Notes, Comments, Tips
For long acquisitions, use the 'Stream to Disk' option in the xsg. For further documentation, see 'Advanced techniques and tips'.
