5.4.19 HRDLStop

void HRDLStop

(

int16_t handle

)

This function stops the device from sampling data.

When running the device in

windowed or streaming mode

, you will need to call this

function to end data collection. This is particularly important in streaming mode, to
ensure that the scope is ready for the next capture.

When running the device in

, you can call this function to interrupt data

capture.

Arguments
