Hello all - I am relatively new to using the forums, and I am not sure this is an appropriate place to ask this question. If you have a better idea of where/who I should ask to get this question answered, I'd also be glad for those suggestions as well.
I am currently using LabVIEW to interface with the PCI-5124. There is a signal being generated by a pulse (which will act as the trigger) which then will then cause a signal to be generated that channel 0 will pick up. The reciever for channel 1 is farther away and will pick up the same signal an uncertain amount of time later.
I am using the fact that the "total acquisition time is equal to the min record length divided by the sample rate (samples/sec)" (http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3382/en/) to give the user the ability to control the acquisition time and the sample rate.
To recap: An external source pulses, the oscilloscope card triggers, and channel 0 and 1 start recording.
My question is this: If another pulse comes and triggers before the PCI-5124 has finished recording, which takes precedence? Does the recording of the data terminate and start again (in which case I should add a wait to make sure another pulse does not interfere) or does the sample keep being recorded until it's finished?
