A block of data is a group of measurements or readings or values that are housed together as a packet or array. For devices that have slow sample rates (< 2Hz) the block size is typically one. On the other hand, for devices above 100Hz the block size must grow to keep up with incoming data demands. text/html 2023-07-10T22:15:43+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://dev-wiki.digilent.com/daq-and-datalogging/documents/windows-python-device-discovery-and-acquisition?rev=1689052543&do=diff Python for Windows Continuous Background with Device Discovery The following Python for Windows example demonstrates device discovery and a continuous background acquisition. Once started, the acquisition is monitored using the get status function that returns total count and buffer index position. Data is retrieved from the device buffer when it is more than half full (index > half). When this happens, it transfers data from the device buffer to the user buffer. The acquisition loop continue…
