Data Processing Options Overview
The data received from the controller can be processed as one potentially large data set (point-by-point
processing), or it can be divided into logical blocks (block processing).
• The Cycle + DAQ and Custom Waveform + DAQ activities are hardcoded for block processing.
• The DAQ and the Max/Min DAQ activities allow you to enter the block information to process data as
blocks. If the block information is left blank, data is processed point-by-point.

Point-By-Point Data Processing
When blocking is not defined for a Data Acquisition activity, the data is processed one point at a time
(point-by-point). Point-by-point data processing saves the signal value(s) associated with each data sample
as part of the test run.
