Acquiring continuously not possible? NI-5133

[DahBenni]

Hello everybody,

i would like to record continously (phase continuous!) with SignalExpress and NI-5133.

When i create a "NI-SCOPE ACQUIRE" there are TWO options for acquiring: "N Samples" and "Continuously", but "Continuously" is greyed out, so I cannot select is.

When i uncheck "Use relative initial time" und "Advanced" it won't work either.

Is there any solution for my problem?

Thank you and best regards!

Hi DahBenni,

Due to limitations of the USB bus, you will not be able to continuously acquire at the full rate of the device.

The following KB explains this issue.
