Managing Acquired Data

There are two basic ways data is managed within the Data Acquisition Toolbox. One way is to preview the data with the peekdata function, the other way is to extract the data from the engine with the getdata function. After data is extracted from the engine, it can be analyzed, saved to disk, etc. In addition to these two functions, there are several properties associated with managing acquired data. These properties are listed below.
