Problem:Why
Do I Have to Specify a Number of Samples to Read When Continuously
Acquiring Data?
Solution:When
performing an acquisition with DAQmx , the acquired data is
transferred into your software (LabVIEW, SignalExpress, C-code,
etc) in two important transfer steps:
Data
is transferred from the DAQ device into the memory (RAM) of your
computer. There is a finite amount of space in the RAM, called the
buffer, which is reserved for that transfer.</
