Data logging frequency and duration

I'm thinking of using the pokitPro as a data logger for suspension movements on a motorcycle or car. For this, i need to be able to log a voltage of 0-5V at a minimum frequency of 100Hz, or better 200Hz. From the spec sheet, the oscilloscope function of the pro will certainly be fast enough, but will i be able to log data at this frequency for a longer duration, say 30 minutes?

  500ms is the fastest interval for data point collection in the current software.  It will run for much longer than 30 minutes, that's not a problem.  I was able to data log the temperature in my garage for over 2 days and it had no trouble.  I also data logged the amperage draw from my Starlink system over a couple hours at the 500ma interval and it handled that fine as well.
