42 Synchronizing Acquisitions
Synchronization with an Averaging Acquisition
When averaging, it is necessary to know when the average count has been
reached. The :SINGle command does not average.
If it is known that a trigger will occur, a :DIGitize will acquire the complete number
of averages, but if the number of averages is large, a timeout on the connection
can occur.
The example below polls during the :DIGitize to prevent a timeout on the
connection.
