Use
the
Free
Run
scan
mode
to
scan
for
data
until
the
specified
number
of
datasets
have
been
collected
or
a
timer
expires,
whichever
happens
first.
If
the
“Continuous
Scan”
check
box
is
checked,
then
data
is
scanned
continuously
and
the
timer
is
ignored.
In
Continuous
Scan,
when
the
indicated
number
of
datasets
has
been
collected,
the
oldest
data
will
be
discarded
to
make
room
for
new
data.
Example
‐
If
the
“No.
Dataset”
field
is
set
to
2000
and
“Continuous

the
BDS

will
continuously
scan
for
fresh
data.
After
2000
datasets
are
captured;
the
oldest
datasets
are
discarded
to
make
room
for
new
datasets.
