Status displays include the numeric variable value readouts in chart channel panels. Updating these during acquisition requires some cpu and display time, and they occupy some screen space, so they should be turned off when you want to use very high sampling rates.
In practice, this often has only a minor effect because the biggest constraint on sampling rate is the speed of the A-D converter, and how fast data can be transferred over the serial interface linking the converter to the computer. However, if the DAQ window is wide (e.g., >1200 pixels), the number of channels is large, and the sampling rate is high, turning off channel status readouts can make the graphical display update more smoothly. It might also be useful to switch status displays off if you want a 'cleaner' picture of the graphical display of DAQ results.
