Abstract: Capturing datasets of interest from a data acquisition data stream. An acquired dataset may be received from a measurement device. The acquired dataset may include measurement data from measurements of one or more physical phenomena acquired by the measurement device, and may be a current dataset in a sequence of datasets acquired by the measurement device. The acquired dataset is buffered, resulting in a buffered dataset. One or more thresholds specifying datasets of interest may be automatically determined based on the buffered dataset or one or more previously acquired datasets. The buffered dataset may be automatically analyzed with respect to the one or more thresholds, and a determination may be made as to whether the buffered dataset is a dataset of interest based on said automatically analyzing. In response to determining that the buffered dataset is a dataset of interest, the buffered dataset may be stored in a storage medium.
