There are two to select: the action to take and the DAQ configuration to act upon. ![Figure 1: Parameter dialog box for the DAQ Action function block script command.](/files/2Ux3u8rG8Fv6ffqtu7rX) ### Action Specifies what the script should do: * **Start:** Start the selected DAQ job if it is not running. * **Wait Until Complete:** Pause the function block at this step until the DAQ job is finished. * **Save:** Save the data collected from the DAQ setup. * **Stop:** Stop the DAQ selected if it is currently running. * **Call:** Start the DAQ job and then wait until it is finished. (This combines the **Start** and **Wait Until Complete** actions.) ### DAQ Allows you to select the DAQ to which the selected action should be applied. The DAQ jobs in the current Vehicle Spy setup will be listed in the white box on the right; simply click the one you want before pressing the **OK** button.\ \ The **Find** box allows you to more easily find the right DAQ in setups where there are many. Type a string in the box to filter the list of DAQ configurations shown in the selection box, so that only those that match appear. Press **Clear** to resume showing all DAQ setups again. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.intrepidcs.com/vspy-3-documentation/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-scripting-and-automation/function-blocks/function-blocks-types/script-type-function-block-commands/script-type-function-block-command-daq-action.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
