vi = contains a session handle to the instrument. This handle is obtained by the function and remains valid until the
session is closed.
maxscans = the maximum number of scans to return. Valid return values: 1 through (2
ts_secs[] = a return array of scan start times, specified in seconds since the epoch (Jan. 1, 1970).
ts_fsecs[] = a return array of scan start times, specified in seconds since the last full second represented in ts_secs[].
numscans = an integer output value indicating the actual number of scans retrieved. Valid
maxdata = the maximum length of the return data array. Valid return values: 1 through (2
data[] = a return array of sample data.
numdata = an integer output value indicating the actual number of samples retrieved. Valid return values: 1 through

to_secs = the timeout period (in seconds), indicating how long to poll the EX10xxA for data. Valid return values:
31
0 through (2 -1), where 0 represents an infinite timeout period.

ESCRIPTION
This function retrieves acquisition data. Data returned by this function includes input channel measurement data and
the start time of each scan.
NOTE In order to provide the maximum reading buffer capacity for future acquisitions, data is deleted from
the FIFO memory upon retrieval.
