The Action module does not affect the data flow rate.
You must interrupt the data flow with a Relay module; you can either use a Trigger module to monitor your event, or the Action module, and use it to Open and Close the Relay.
There are a number of data reduction examples in the Help->Tutorial - it's worth the time to read through them. I generally suggest that at least the first 4 chapters / sections be read. It helps set the environment and fundamentals.
