The recording mode and repeat functions are selected using the Recording dialog box. PicoLog can record in the following ways:
 | Real time continuous. This offers continuous recording over long periods. The data can be displayed in graphical or spreadsheet format during data collection. The fastest sampling rate in realtime mode depends on the speed of the computer and the operating system (it is of the order of a few milliseconds). |
| Fast block (single converter only). This is used to collect a relatively short block of data at high speed. It is not possible to display data during block mode recording. In block mode, it is possible to start recording on a trigger event. If the 'repeat immediately' option is selected, it is possible to write a run file for each occurrence of the trigger event. |
There are several options to specify what should happen at the end of a run when the specified maximum number of samples have been collected. The options are as follows:
| Stop |
| Repeat immediately |
| Scroll |
| Repeat after delay |
Note: When PicoLog is installed with DrDAQ, the recording mode is fixed at Real time continuous, and the repeat functions are not available.
