Take N samples M times before sending to disk - NI-USB

[chadt]

Hi there,

I have a NI-USB 6259 DAQ, and I am wondering if it's possible to take N samples M times (with M triggers) before sending the data to disk. In other words, can I set the number of samples N to be finite, and have the DAQ waiting for M triggers, and after M triggers where the DAQ collects N samples each time (at some rate) it sends the accumulated data to disk?

Hi chadt,

Here is a forum post that may be helpful to you.

You can create a stop condition or use a for loop so it only executes M times.
