Timed Acquisition Process
About the Timed Acquisition Process
The Timed Acquisition process records the output of all selected signals at the
specified time interval or sample rate.
When you define a Timed Acquisition process, you can define the time between
samples (shown below) or type a sample rate frequency.

Time Between Points Specifies the time interval between data acquisitions.
Note When you type a time increment, the MPT application may change
your entry slightly to reflect your controller’s clock rate.
Sample Rate Specifies the sample rate frequency for data acquisition.
Note MPT may change the entered frequency slightly to reflect the
resolution of your controller’s system clock rate. For instance, if you
type in “1000 Hz” and press the enter key, MPT may change the
number to 1024 Hz.
Total Samples Specifies the number of samples the process will acquire before it completes.
Sampling Duration Specifies the length of time the process will attempt to acquire data.
Continuous Sampling Causes the process to acquire samples continuously until it is interrupted.
