Characteristics mode
|
Records compressed values like RMS or peak.
|
| |
Signal mode
|
Records real-time signals with the chosen data rate. Since these values may be very fluctuating the bar graph will show only the highest magnitude with the respective sign.
|

Data rate
In Signal mode you can decide whether the signals are recorded with maximum or with adaptive data rate.
Maximum data rate
|
The full sampling rate of the USB device will be used for recording:
|
Adaptive data rate
|
The recording data rate is set according to the used low pass filters. The sampling rate will be sufficiently high to meet the Nyquist criterion.
Example: All channels use a 10 Hz low pass. It is not necessary to sample with the full rate of 96 000 Hz. The sampling rate can be reduced to < 1000 Hz which will reduce the amount of data by 99 % without loss of information.

Digital input
|
For automated test systems it can be advantageous to control VM-REC by an external trigger, which is a digital input of the USB devices. VM-REC starts when logic high level is detected and stops at low level.
