Hello Bob,
The reason why it takes about that long for the SCXI to start acquiring data is because lots of channel and device configuration have to be defined prior to data acquisition. The DAQ hardware will start acquiring data as soon as the task is started (DAQmx Start Task.vi). What you can do in your program is configure the task before hand and then wait on a Boolean value (could be a control) to change state and then start the task. This would give you a precise control over the time when you want to start your acquisition.
