Option Description

Initial Delay

Determines the initial delay for a time acquisition.

OOIBase32 introduces this delay after you initiate the time acquisition
with the Start button on the Time Acquisition toolbar or the Time
Acquisition | Start

command from the menu.

Select the Hours, Minutes, Seconds, or Milliseconds from the check
boxes immediately to the right of the entry to specify the time units of the
initial delay period.

Frequency

Determines the frequency of the data collection in a time acquisition.

Numerous parameters determine how rapidly OOIBase32 can acquire
data (integration time, number of scans averaged, video performance,
computer speed, etc.). This entry controls the delay between acquisitions.
The software stamps data from a time acquisition with a time accurate to
1 millisecond.

Select the Hours, Minutes, Seconds, or Milliseconds from the check
boxes immediately to the right of the entry to specify the time units of the
frequency variable.

OOIBase32 will ignore the Frequency setting when you enable the Save
Every Acquisition option.

Duration

Determines the length of the data collection in a time acquisition.

Select the Hours, Minutes, Seconds, or Milliseconds from the check
boxes immediately to the right of the entry to specify the time units of the
duration variable.

OOIBase32 will ignore the Duration setting when you enable the
Continue Until Manually Stop option.

Select Time Acquisition | Configure | Configure Acquisition to access this dialog box.

Configure Time Channels

The Configure Time Channels option allows you to configure time channels for a time acquisition
process.

You can collect spectral data as a function of time from up to 6 single wavelengths (designated as Time
Channels A through F) and up to two mathematical combinations of these wavelengths (designated as
Time Channel Combinations 1 and 2).

Select Time Acquisition | Configure| Configure Time Channels to access the Time Acquisition
