Static Acquisition

Static acquisition samples the configured channels once, reflecting the present state of the channels. Static acquisition, like static generation, is controlled by software and does not use hardware timing.

Because a function call is required for each data point acquired, static acquisition is generally used only for single-point or low-speed applications. Static acquisition can be helpful for system and cable debugging, DC-level semiconductor testing, and many other applications.

Static acquisition is also called immediate, unstrobed, or nonlatched acquisition.
