9: Time Acquisition Menu Functions

Available options on the Time Acquisition Configuration dialog box include the following:

Option Description

Stream Data to Disk

Forces OOIBase32 to write the time acquisition data to disk during the
time acquisition process. The software writes data at the frequency
defined by the Write Data to Disk Every X Acquisitions setting.

Show Values in Status Bar

Displays the time acquisition values in the status bar during the time
acquisition. These values replace the display of the cursor values.

Write Data to Disk Every X
Acquisitions

Sets the number of discrete time acquisitions to perform before the
software streams data to the disk.

The smaller this number, the more frequently OOIBase32 will write the
data to disk. You can enhance time acquisition performance by making
this number larger and thus reducing the number of times the software
writes data to the disk.

Stream and Autosave
Filename

Defines the filename of the time acquisition stream file or the auto-
incremented files saved (when you enable the Save Full Spectrum with
Each Acquisition

option).

Save Full Spectrum with
Each Acquisition

Saves the complete spectral data for each enabled spectrometer channel
at each time interval in the time acquisition experiment.

Save Every Acquisition

Configures the time acquisition to store data for every spectral
acquisition. OOIBase32 will ignore the value in the Frequency setting
when you enable this option.

Continue Until Manually
Stopped

Configures the time acquisition to continue to store data until you
manually stop the process with either the Stop button on the Time
Acquisition toolbar or the Time Acquisition | Stop command from the
menu.

OOIBase32 ignores the Duration setting when you enable this option.
