ACQUIRING DATA

5.4 - ACQUISITION MODES & TIMINGS
An acquisition is taken to be the complete data capture process that is executed whenever you select Take
Signal, Take Background, or Take Reference from the Acquisition Menu or whenever you click the Take
Signal button.
By contrast, a scan (i.e. an ‘Acquired Scan’ in the definitions that follow) is 1x readout of data from the CCD-
chip. Several scans may be involved in a complete data acquisition.
The minimum time required for an acquisition is dependent on a number of factors, including the Exposure
Time (i.e. the time in seconds during which the CCD collects light prior to readout.) and the Triggering
mode. Triggering modes are described in more detail later in this section.
Single scan is the simplest acquisition mode, in which the system performs one scan of the CCD.
NOTE: Should you attempt to enter too low a value, the system will default to a minimum exposure
time.
