There's a section in the DAQ Assistant that is supposed to provide help.  When you put your cursor over a setting, it should explain what it does.

Thanks. I AM aware of the text help function, but I'm afraid that short text does not necessary provide the information I need. For example, for "start trigger", the context help says "it will start a data aqusition or generation", which I completely understand. However, it doesnt tell me if it will keep on checking the trigger for each iteration in the while loop. It might be obivious to experienced users, but for someone just started, I often found it's really hard to know what's going on internally and the help doesnt really help much. Any way, I may just dig into it more, there might be no shortcut any way. Thanks alot for the time and help though.

Just for others may run into this same question in the future, I found this link very helpful "http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B86AA2D2FDE9A16086256FFC00604202"

For N sample mode, it is said "However, unlike continuous sampling, you must actually call Start Task, then Read, then Stop Task, during each iteration of the loop. Otherwise, the DAQ driver will try to Read samples even though it has already fulfilled your request for N samples and you will receive an error."
