Real-time data Processing

"...how quickly should it cycle?"

That depends on the nature of your calculations. FFT's of large data set will take a long time. Just scaling and comparing with a value will be done before you start.

Agreed.

Also, is there a way to read only the newly acquired data, such that the entire data set isn't constantly read over and over again (thus being highly repetitive)?

And, as previously asked, what kind of loop is commonly used for such a read-process-write application?

"And, as previously asked, what kind of loop is commonly used for such a read-process-write application?"

With info on what architecture you plan to implelment this Q is a lot like asking "What kind of adhesive should I use?" before you have determined you are working with steel or plastic.

So my reply is "insufficient data to complete this operation."
