Figure 9 - Continuous AutoDMA Transfers
Continuous AutoDMA buffers do not include headers, so it is not possible to get
trigger time-stamps.
A BUFFER_OVERFLOW flag is asserted only if the entire on-board memory is
used up.
The amount of data to be captured is controlled by counting the number of
buffers acquired. Acquisition is stopped by an AbortCapture command.
Continuous AutoDMA can easily acquire data to PC host memory at the
maximum sustained transfer rate of the motherboard without causing an
overflow.
This is the recommended mode for very long signal recording.
