数据采集初学者（Data acquisition beginners） The content here is only for NI data acquisition cards, and does not guarantee data acquisition cards for other companies. Have the wrong place please reply that, thank you Will data be lost when data is collected? This is one of the most common problems, just started to learn when data acquisition will be taken into account, if the software reads the data loop run fast enough, for example, when the sampling rate of 100K, the software cycle is certainly not so fast, the data is not lost? First, we must clear that the function of data acquisition is completed by the data acquisition card, the software is only the data collected will be received by the computer over the top, the data acquisition card has its own way to solve the problem of hardware software too fast reading speed. It requires an introduction to data transmission in the process of data collection: external signals into the data acquisition card, through a variety of processing, advanced into the data acquisition card inside the buffer, the buffer is a FIFO (FIFO, First In First Out), NI data acquisition card should be have a buffer board, the difference is the size of the buffer. Then when the onboard buffer data to a certain condition, the buffer data uploaded to the computer memory data acquisition card is generally based on the DMA (direct memory access) mode of the incoming, but also can be arranged in other ways, such as interrupt etc.. The mode and timing of uploading data can be set or viewed through the DAQmx property node. In DAQmx, the default is to use the DMA transport mode. The transmission condition is onboard memory, which is not empty. The following blue section is from the NI website: Data transfers include direct memory access (DMA), interrupt request (IRQ), and programmable I/O. DMA is a direct communication between DAQ card and PC memory, no longer need the intervention of the processor. The NI "MITE" chip can handle all bus protocols between the
