Data Acquisition / Timer

[mjb3030]

I am creating an application that will be collecting data from a data acquisition device. The device will be supplying the data at a much faster rate than I need to collect it, which is fine. I need to collect exactly 360 pieces of data in exactly 3 seconds, 120 points per second.

My question is... how? Should I use a Timer? My guess is that wont be accurate enough to give me exactly 360 data points each time. If I use a For...Next loop, I will get exactly 360 points, but it wont happen over 3 seconds. Where should I turn?

Thanks.

How is the data being dispatched, remoting, service, etc... ?

I am connecting to a USB data acquisition device which is converting an analog signal to a digital one.
