Data Taking Approaches

Channel - data buffers contain many samples over different time stamps for the same channel saving data requires seeking to the appropriate buffer and emptying the local buffer optimized for retrieving data for a few channels over a long time memory buffers are used to minimize the disks access during saving

Set - data buffers contain many channels for a given time saving data only requires one seek for the entire set optimized for retrieving a set of data at a given time
