NIDAQ Tools background acquisition

mgill (http://www.igorexchange.com/user/288) posted this as an issue for NIDAQmxBaseAccess XOP project. I have moved it here.

Hi,

I am using tirggered acquisition and need to be able to munipulate various graphs (with showInfo cursors) while IGOR is waiting for the a trigger pulse. I still want to use the built in GUI that came with the NIDAQ tools. How would I do this?

Using the supplied GUI procedure files, you should be able to just click the Return Immediately checkbox. Maybe I should re-name that checkbox...

It's described in the NIDAQ Tools MX Help help file under the sub-topic Acquiring Analog Data into Waves in the NIDAQ Tools MX Guided Tour.
