TL;DR Is there a way to start a capture and get an acknowledgment for when the capture starts?
The problem, roughly, is the following: If capture is called and a signal arrives at the recording device, say, a nanosecond later, will that signal be recorded? Probably not. What about a second later? Probably. I would like to know for sure, in other words, I would like to get an acknowledgment which, one received by the host, guarantees that the recording is running. I'm fine with waiting a couple of seconds.
But it appears to me as if there is no way to know when exactly a capture starts. For example, from the documentation:
Socket Command: capture
This command starts a capture. It will return NAK if an error occurs.
The function will return ACK when the capture is complete.
