Hi Neil,
Thank you! This software seems to have some nice features for vibration analysis. With this in mind, I am wondering if the same hardware could support a separate function that operates similar to the single trigger on a digital oscilloscope. In this mode, the device would continue sampling through the buffer in FIFO fashion until the trigger conditions were met. Then, it would finish filling the buffer and then transmit the data through to the PC for post shock review. Here is a graphical example of what I mean (with a slower sample rate than this application may need):
This would enable the fastest sample rate and with some experimentation, the best peak resolution. I am not in a position to take the LabVIEW on but thought I would offer the idea, in case it triggers and easy path to realization. Thanks again for your feedback on this! Regardless of my present question, great job on this!
Best,
Mark
