Acq.exe is a program converted by Matt Wright to do the following things:

1:  Acq.exe is a command line driven program.  To run it needs the following information to be put into its command line.  The device name (ex: DT3155), a base filename (ex: name), and the number of files you wish to acquire.  See point 4


2:  The best way to run Acq,exe is through TestPoint.  Use the testpoint file acq.tst to run acq.exe. acq.tst will give you a list of options you may want to change.


3:  external triggering.  The program will take a high to low trigger on pin number four of the frame grabber card.  The external trigger function cannot easily be turned off.  As of now you are forced to external trigger, I will edit the program if needed.

	Add a fourth command line parameter to testpoint
	make it one or zero.  
	Have acq.c except it as int external_trigger_on
	right above the trigger function in AcquireToHost()
	add the if statement:

		if (external_trigger_on)

	/***

	time specks for acq.exe triggering:  not determined but fast.


4:  multiple frame grabbing.  This program is designed to grab a certain number of frames.  It will save the data in a binary file *.sba (sloly's binary array) in this manner:

		Basename:  		name
		Num of Acquire-->	5

	name0.sba
	name1.sba
	name2.sba
	name3.sba
	name4.sba
