Daisylab, instrunet & blocks

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,
I am currently working on daisylab and instrunet. I have a question
that I am sure all of you could answer.
What is a Block exactly?
What is the difference between setting sample rate at 500 Hz with 10
blocks and acquiring directly at 50 Hz. And what about acquiring at
500 Hz and taking the mean over 10 Blocks.
I am getting confused. Help 🙂 !

Hi Colin,

The sample rate/block size relationship has most of its impact on the amount of data that the system has to manage.  There is a KnowledgeBase article here that provides information about this relationship.  You may also want to check out the KnowledgeBase article here for more information on this subject.  Let us know if you have any other questions.
