Display Summary
You can invoke the display summary by typing the name of the device object at the command line. The information displayed reflects many of the core properties described on "Controlling Acquisition Behavior with Properties", and is designed so you can quickly evaluate the status of your data acquisition session. The displayed information is divided into two sections:
General summary information includes the device name, the sampling rate, the number of samples to acquire per trigger, the acquisition duration, the destination for logged data, the trigger type, the engine status (whether it is logging data, waiting for a trigger, etc.), the number of samples acquired since starting, and the number of samples available to extract from the engine. Channel information includes the hardware channel mapping, the channel name, and property values related to engineering units.
The display summary for the example on page 3-17 is shown below.
The general summary information reflects the acquisition status after the requested samples have been acquired but before the data is extracted from the engine.
If you only want to evaluate the status of the channels, you must type the name of the channel array.
