Collecting physio while utilizing suspend/resume function - any advice appreciated!

[David McFarlane]

Lindsey,

As I understand it, the whole purpose of Suspend is precisely to, 
well, suspend EP Device operations, so as to, say, improve 
performance of other software until returning control to EP -- please 
see the Suspend topic in the E-Basic Help facility.  Goodness knows 
what Devices do if not Suspended while another program takes charge, 
you should write some demo programs to explore that yourself.  You 
might also ask PST staff directly at 
http://support.pstnet.com/e%2Dprime/support/login.asp , but beware -- 
don't believe anything that PST staff (or even I) tell you, you must, 
*must* devise your own tests and test everything for yourself, just 
as if you were a scientist doing real science.  And if you get good 
enough at that, you won't need to ask our advice in the first place, 
you will be the one advising us :)!
