DAQ / Computation & Storage Rate

[KJWRIGHTY 0]

Sorry for my ignorance in advance. 

We have a requirement where we intend using the LabJack T7 (or similar) to acquire analogue input data and the fastest possible rate. The incoming raw data needs to be need to be processed through some fairly simple math computation, and stored. The storage period could range for a few minuets to 15 minuet blocks. 

Now, while the LabJack can manage the acquisition. My question relates to how fast the DAQFactory application can process and store that data. The graphic update is one thing, but we need to be sure that we are not loosing blocks of data due to a slow scan rate in the DAQFactory software. 

I'm keen to get your feedback? 

Cheers

That depends a little.  What data rate are you hoping to achieve?  How many channels?  Are you connecting over USB or Ethernet?  What sort of math are you going to do?
