DAQ Activity Overview
DAQ Activity Icon
The DAQ activity is a standalone activity that collects data using a variety of triggers independently of any
Command activity. The DAQ activity is typically placed in a parallel path with a Command activity. The
DAQ activity can write data into a variable or a file using block or point-by-point processing. It can also
perform calculations on the data put into variables.
Note:
If you are running a cyclic test, you may want to use the Cycle + DAQ composite activity. It combines
cyclic command and a DAQ activity that is hardcoded to support most cyclic testing.
