Running indicates whether the device object and data acquisition engine are running.
When Running is On, data can be acquired from an analog input device or sent to an analog output device. When Running is Off, you can still acquire one sample for each channel contained by an analog input device using the getsample function, or send one sample for each channel contained by an analog output device using the putsample function.
Running is automatically set to On once the start command is issued. Running is automatically set to Off once the stop command is issued, the specified data is acquired or sent, or a runtime error occurs.
