I set the scan engine to 1ms. So the time looped timing source will be set to, "Synchronize to Scan Engine." From my understanding this is the fastest the Rio scan interface can work before you have to go to FPGA programming.
ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTIONS:
The goal is to get x number of sample. Currently the number of sample is at 2000. But will definitively become smaller fixed number in the future. I am still figuring out how small the sample number can be so I can still get accurate data. The accurate data will decide if my unit under test pass or fail.
Right now, I just run the time loop until number of sample is reached. (See attachment).
I have not created the state machine yet. I wanted to see if it was possible. I will leave the state when x number of sample are reached. The data will then be analyzed to see it if pass or fail. The data will be sent to host machine so they can view it on a graph.

Another concern I have is I am only reading one channel now. But in the future, depending on setup, I could be reading anyway from 8 to 20 channels at the same time.
