Activating the Acquisition Sequence

The acquisition sequence is activated when the channel is activated while the acquisition flag is started, whichever occurs last. This event is referred to as the SAS (Start Acquisition Sequence).

Activating the channel is a matter of assigning the value ACTIVE to the ChannelState parameter. This is a channel-specific operation.

As long as the conjunction "channel is active" and "acquisition is started" is realized, the acquisition sequence remains alive. The channel parameters allow defining a number of useful ways to organize the occurrence of acquisition phases. In particular, repetitive or triggered acquisition phases are possible, as well as "live" operation of the channel.
