acquisition Method

[RTsul]

I’m using LabVIEW 7.0 with a PCI-6024E board and I was testing the code attached. I would like to understand if I want to acquire 1000 scans in 4 channels, how is the acquisition done?

 a)      First collect all 1000 scans from channel 1, then 1000 scans from channel 2, then the same for channel 3 and 4. This may give me problems with synchronism.

or

 b)      Collect the first scan from each channel 1,2,3,4, then collect the second scan for each channel,… repeats till it makes 1000 scans. My concern is about synchronism and interchannel delay. Can anyone help here?

Hi,

This card is using Intervall Scanning which means it samples all channels one after another, then waits the the sample clock time you specified and samples them again. so its 0,1,2,3....0,1,2,3....0,1,2,3
