Digital Input Data Acquisition Methods
When performing digital input measurements, you either can perform
software-timed or hardware-timed acquisitions.
Software-Timed Acquisitions
With a software-timed acquisition, software controls the rate of the
acquisition. Software sends a separate command to the hardware to initiate
each acquisition. In NI-DAQmx, software-timed acquisitions are referred
to as having on-demand timing. Software-timed acquisitions are also
referred to as immediate or static acquisitions and are typically used for
reading a single sample of data.
