Hi @zygot! We expect the acquisition to run for 2-3 days, but this can be partitioned into multiple short-time acquisitions. We only need the raw data to be saved in binary files. Currently, we are using NI DAQs together with the MATLAB Data Acquisition Toolbox, which supports background acquisition without using too much CPU and memory. We could run a 30-minute acquisition without interruption. I was happy to see AD2 could use the MATLAB Data Acquisition Toolbox as well with a higher sample rate than NI DAQs, until I figured it does not support external clocks. I'm working on a passive radar project and need to acquire data using 3 systems simultaneously. These systems are far away from each other so we cannot sync them in one place. We have to use GPS clocks to ensure high accuracy. Thanks

Thanks, @JColvin! Do you know how accurate the clock in AD2 is? Is there a value to quantify AD2's clock accuracy? Thanks!

Hi community, I just got an Analog Discovery 2 and I would like to use it as a DAQ with a sample rate of 5 MHz. I want to add an external clock (5 MHz or 10 MHz) from GPS for my data acquisition. Is this possible on AD2? Thanks!
