6. Enable Save Every Acquisition to store data for every spectral acquisition during a time acquisition
process (optional).
Note: OOIBase32 has options to either store data for each acquisition, or to collect data only after a
specified delay. Several factors affect the minimum time acquisition frequency, including
integration time, number of spectrometer channels, samples averaged, and computer speed. If
you instruct OOIBase32 to store data every 100 milliseconds, the delay between data
acquisitions will be 100 milliseconds or more, depending on your experimental configuration.
OOIBase32 spends a large amount of time calculating, rendering, and displaying the spectra in a
spectral window. You can suspend the graph display, which greatly improves the performance of
OOIBase32.
7. Enter an Initial Delay to set the delay preceding the time acquisition process. Keep in mind that the delay
countdown does not begin until you start the time acquisition process. Be sure to select Hours, Minutes,
Seconds, or Milliseconds immediately to the right of the initial delay entry.
8. Enter a value to set the Frequency of the data collected in a time acquisition process. OOIBase32
stamps data from a time acquisition with a time accurate to one millisecond. Be sure to select Hours,
Minutes, Seconds, or Milliseconds immediately to the right of the frequency entry. You can enable the
Save Every Acquisition box to store the acquisitions that occur at this frequency. See Step 6 for more
information.
9. Enter a value to set the Duration for the entire time acquisition process. Be sure to select Hours, Minutes,
Seconds, or Milliseconds to the right of the duration entry. Click the OK button to close the Time
Acquisition Configuration dialog box. Then, enable Continue Until Manually Stopped, which instructs
OOIBase32 to store data until you manually stop the acquisition process (optional).
