Step 4
Configure for burst of high speed readings
There are two data acquisition modes, normal and burst. The
burst reading rate is 2000 readings/sec into the buffer (plus
post-processing time of the raw readings, typically 2msec/
reading). To achieve this speed, certain tradeoffs are made
with flexibility, as listed in Table 2-5.
1. To continue the reading storage example with burst
mode selected, display the CONFIG DATA STORE
menu by pressing the CONFIG key, then the STORE
key:
CONFIG DATA STORE
BURST-MODE DATA-GROUP CONTROL
CLEAR-ALL COUNT FEED
2. Select BURST-MODE and press ENTER. After a mo-
mentary message about clearing the buffer, the display
shows:
BURST MODE
OFF ON
3. Select ON and press ENTER. (Certain instrument pa-
rameters are saved when burst is enabled, and are re-
stored when burst is disabled. See paragraph 3.8.1 for
further details on burst mode.)

Notes:
1. The measurement display is not updated during burst.
2. A math operation slows post-processing time.
