Ricardo,
Perfect, the timer events is exactly what I need. (I did not even know they
exist until now.) Regarding A2, I guess my minimum data spacing depends on
the execution time of the event handler, which I can simply test. However,
for slow rates of 1/s this should be sufficient. For burst rates I can use
other features of the DAQcard.
Thanks,
Haje

A1: I think what you need are widget timer events.
A2: Depends on your actual needs, but nay.
