Basically I am saving data at 200KSamples/sec for 20 sec.
That works out to 4000Ksamples.
Since I am using a 16 bit card, 6035E(low cost version), that works out to be 2 Bytes per sample.
Hence 8000Kb for the whole file.
I save the file at the end of the aquisition.I have tried using the lvm format.But this just blows up the file size to about 6 or 7 times because of the number to string conversion.
Typically when i use the lvm format it takes about more than 10 mins to store a file of this size on my computer(2.4Ghz,1GB Ram)and computer just seems to go into a hang mode.
I am trying to use the TDM file format but even that has some complains .It gives me a Error -2500 Occurred at Close data storage.This error seems to disappear when I decrease the acquistion period., say to 10 sec.
Some one suggested using low level vis to for writing the aquistion data, but I wuld like to preserve my time channel. If I use these how would I get the time accurately, for the sampling rate that I am using?
Any help?
