Detailed Description

A sequence is a list of channels (max 16) that are acquired. It can be any order of the channels in this list.
There are different sequence modes:

a) Certain number of sequences:
After the acquisition of the defined number of sequences, the acquisition is stopped automatically.

b) Continuous:
The sequences are acquired continuously until a software-stop-command occurs.

c) Without delay:
There is no waiting time between the acquisitions of 2 sequences.

d) With delay:
A delay between 2 sequences can be configured:
For this there are 2 delay types:
> Mode 1: The delay time defines the time between 2 sequence beginnings.
> Mode 2: The delay time defines the time between the end of a sequence until the beginning of the next sequence.

You can start the acquisition by a hardware trigger in the auto refresh and sequence mode.
The hardware trigger can react to a rising, falling or both edges.
You have the following possibilities:

There are two trigger modes:
a) One shot
b) Sequence

a) One shot:
After the software start, the module is waiting for a trigger signal to start the acquisition. After this the trigger signal is ignored.
b) Sequence:
After the software start the module is waiting for the trigger signal and acquires x sequences (also adjustable) and then wait again.

There is also the possibility to stop the acquisition with the hardware trigger.
This can only be do when :

In the case of the hardware trigger is used to start the acquisition in one shot mode, and by the stop of the trigger
the number of sequence to acquire is not reach, then the hardware trigger start condition can restart the acquisition !
