started after the data has been processed, therefore there are
gaps between the measurements.
Besides working in block mode TiePie engineering instruments support working in streaming mode. In this mode
the measured data is transferred directly to the computer,
without using the internal memory of the instrument. This
makes it possible to perform continuous measurements without gaps. For more information on streaming measurements,
refer to section 4.4. You can change the measure mode of an
instrument via its popup menu in the object tree.
To change the measure mode of an instrument, the
instrument must first be set to pause.
Sample frequency The sample frequency is the rate at
which the instrument takes its samples of the input signals.
It can be set to predefined or user defined values via different
menus. Use the hotkeys F3 and F4 to decrease or increase
the sample frequency.
Record length The record length is the number of samples
the instrument takes during each measurement or record. It
can be set to predefined or user defined values via different
menus. Use the hotkeys F11 and F12 to decrease or increase
the record length.
Resolution The resolution of an instrument determines the
smallest voltage step that can be detected. The resolution is
indicated with a number of bits. Every extra bit doubles the
accuracy. This means that the smallest detectable voltage
step will be 16 times smaller when you use a 12 bit resolution instead of 8 bit. You can change the resolution of an
instrument via its popup menu in the object tree.
