Flow Mode

The  GageMux®  USB  can  also  be  operated  in  flow  mode  to  continuously
send  data  to  the  computer.  When  in  this  mode,  all  ports  are  continuously
scanned  and  readings  from  active  ports  are  sent  in  full  comma-delimited
format.  The  flow  mode  is  triggered  by  pressing  the  foot  switch  in
Channel#1  or  requesting  data  using  host  commands.

If multiple units are

connected in daisy chain, set the first unit to flow mode and all the
backplane units to global footswitch mode.
