I read it, so I quess I missinterpretate this part.
I want for clock==0 - gather samples, gather in final phase, and save all

  laod data, do not gather enything, just use loaded data

or loaded data isn't enought to skip entire gathering - it is only some 
kind of optimization for speed-up gathering ?
