when you enable pretrigger mode. If you do not apply the stop trigger, SCAN_to_Disk 
eventually returns control to your application because you eventually run out of disk space.
In any case, you can use 
Timeout_Config to establish a maximum length of time for 
SCAN_to_Disk to execute.
Note Simultaneous sampling devices do not use the sampleRate parameter. Because 
these devices use simultaneous sampling of all channels the scanRate parameter 
controls the acquisition rate; therefore, a scanRate of 0 is not allowed.
