The axes will automatically rescale when you start acquiring data.<br />

15. To start acquisition, click on <strong>BSA</strong> Application in the project explorer, <strong>and</strong><br />

click on the Run button in the tool bar (or press the F5 button on the<br />

keyboard).<br />

The histogram will be updated during the measurement. With 2000 samples<br />

selected, all data is usually sent in a single block, so the histogram updates<br />

once only. The update rate depends on the data rate. With high data rates <strong>and</strong><br />

a large number of samples, you will see several updates during an<br />

acquisition.<br />

16. When the acquisition is completed, the “Run” button is clear again. If the<br />

System monitor is open, either the Samples or Acquisition bar graph is at<br />

full scale.<br />

Under the menu “Tools - Options - General” you can select “Feedback with<br />

sound”. With this option active, you will hear a beep from the PC when<br />

acquisition is completed.<br />

You have now completed data acquisition in a single point. To save the data,<br />

click the Save button in the toolbar (or select File-Save in the menu bar),<br />

<strong>and</strong> give the project file a name. It will be stored in the My <strong>Flow</strong> Projects<br />

folder.<br />

You can add further processing objects, data lists or graphs by right mouse<br />

clicking on the <strong>BSA</strong> Application icon in the project explorer <strong>and</strong> selecting<br />

“new” from the dialog that appears.<br />

To save time when new objects have been added, you can run those objects<br />

alone by clicking on the highest level object you want to run, <strong>and</strong> then click<br />

the “Run” button or press F5 on the keyboard. This will run the object <strong>and</strong><br />

it’s child objects.<br />
