At that point, Genesis 3.1 can handle Data Acquisition in two different modes:

  • Time-Controlled Data Acquisition

    In that mode, the start time and end time of data acquisiton can be selected before the start of acquisition. Genesis 3.1 will start data acquisition at requested start time and will automatically stop at the requested end time.

    Selection of Time-Controlled Data Acquisition Control

    Depending on the size of the Acquisition Data Matrix, the actual end time of data acquisition might be delayed after the requested end time of data acquisition.
