Repeat Times
is the total number of times the data is to be cap-
tured. For endlessly repeating data capture, set to 0.

The MCM-216/218 provides the
Channel Gain Queue
function to
dynamically allocate sampling size. By default, the selected chan-
nels will equally share the maximized sample rate. However, sam-
pling rates can be allocated as necessary between channels. For
example, when choosing 16 channels with a 250 kS/s sample
rate, each channel will use 15.625 (250/16) as its sample rate. If a
channel needs a higher sample rate, set the value accordingly.
To set the sample rate. first check the desired channels, then
select the checkbox for each channel to include them in Queue
Content. The sequence in Queue Content represents the allo-
cated unit that each channel requires. Click as many times on the
channel as needed. The sample rate will be shared according to
the Queue Content.
As the figure below shows, channels 0, 1, 2, and 3 are selected.
The sequence is AI0, AI0, AI1, AI3, AI2, AI2, AI2, AI2, AI2, and
AI2. Hence, channel 0 will occupy 2/10 of the maximum sample
rate. Channel 1 and 3 will occupy 1/10 of the maximum sample
rate. Channel 2 will occupy 6/10 of the maximum sample rate. You
WARNING:
Warning!
If you are using a customized algorithm as your
Data
Type
, it is strongly recommended to set
Repeat Times
to 1 for
the first attempt, then to 10 for a limited data capture test. Once
you have confirmed the algorithm is running as intended, you
can set
Repeat Times
to 0 for repeated data capture.
