NI-DAQ FRM for PC Compatibles
count is the number of samples to be acquired (that is, the number of A/D conversions to be
performed). The length of your data file should be exactly twice the value of count. If you
have previously enabled pretrigger mode (by a call to
performed). The length of your data file should be exactly twice the value of count. If you
have previously enabled pretrigger mode (by a call to
DAQ_StopTrigger_Config
),
NI-DAQ ignores the count parameter.
Range:

sampleRate is the sample rate you want in units of pts/s. This is the rate at which channels
are sampled within a scan sequence.

Range:
Roughly 0.00153 pts/s through 500,000 pts/s.
scanRate is the scan rate you want in units of scans/s. This is the rate at which NI-DAQ
performs scans. NI-DAQ performs a scan each time the function samples all the channels
listed in the scan sequence.
performs scans. NI-DAQ performs a scan each time the function samples all the channels
listed in the scan sequence.
Range:
0 and roughly 0.00153 scans/s through 500,000 scans/s. A value of zero means
that there is no delay between scans and that the effective scanRate is
sampleRate/numChans.
that there is no delay between scans and that the effective scanRate is
sampleRate/numChans.
concat enables concatenation of data to an existing file. Regardless of the value of concat,
if the file does not exist, NI-DAQ creates the file.
if the file does not exist, NI-DAQ creates the file.
0:
Overwrite file if it exists.
1:
Concatenate new data to an existing file.

SCAN_to_Disk
initiates a synchronous process of acquiring A/D conversion samples
and storing them in a disk file. The maximum rate varies according to the type of device you
have and the speed and degree of fragmentation of your disk storage device.

SCAN_to_Disk
does not return control to your application until NI-DAQ acquires and saves all the samples
you want (or until an acquisition error occurs). When you use posttrigger mode (with
pretrigger mode disabled), the process stores count A/D conversions in the file and ignores
any subsequent conversions.

issues a software trigger to initiate the data acquisition operation.
If you have enabled pretrigger mode, the sample counter does not begin counting acquisitions
until you apply a signal at the stop trigger input. Until you apply this signal, the acquisition
continues to write data into the disk file. NI-DAQ ignores the value of the count parameter
