time. For continuous acquisition, you must use a while loop around the
acquisition components even if you configured the task for continuous
acquisition using MAX or the DAQ Assistant. For continuous and buffered
acquisitions, you can set the acquisition rate and the number of samples to
read in the DAQ Assistant or programmatically in your application. By
default, the clock settings are automatically set by an internal clock based
on the requested sample rate. You also can select advanced features such as
clock settings that specify an external clock source, internal routing of the
clock source, or select the active edge of the clock signal.
