Sampling approximation based on.  When you click the OK button, PicoLog will attempt to negotiate the closest setting based on two user options:

Scan time stays constant - the scan time will remain as close as possible to that requested, and the conversion time will be modified to fit the number of active channels in the scan time

Conversion time stays constant - the conversion time will remain as close as possible to that requested, and the scan time will be modified.

If PicoLog has modified one of your timing specifications, it will display an asterisk (*) next to the parameter that it has adjusted.  If the adjusted value is acceptable, click OK again and PicoLog will use the displayed settings.  If not, change one of the specifications and try again.
