0 to 255 sequence in GUI CSV file ?

edited February 2021 in Cyton

Hi,
I'm using Cyton board and use the txt file which is saved automatically after I run GUI. And I notice that in my txt file, the data is in a loop, for more details, the index starts from 0 to 255, then starts at 0 again. Is there any opportunities I can expand the index or just get rid of looping? So I aim to read a continuous data. Also could you please explain why the loop exists, what I'm thinking is that the index represents time. Thank you in advance.

    Doris, hi.

    This is just a one byte packet counter that goes from 0 to 255, then back to 0. The data stream is already continuous. Data samples flow from the Cyton mainboard, over a radio link which is packetized. Each count represents one sample taken across 8 (or 16) channels and 3 'Aux' channels.

    Great thank you William. I saw the timestamp at the last column once after my posted this questions. Cheers.
