Modifications for 16 bit triggers
Posted: Wed Mar 14, 2007 11:30 pm
Hi there,
I have recently completed several modifications to the ActiView source code in LabView, allowing for a TCP connection to be established to a remote machine. With these changes, I am able to receive trigger values from the remote computer over the network, and they are being properly displayed via the trigger screen subvi, and are also properly stored when recording to a bdf file.
The only problem occurs when I try to receive trigger values that exceed 7 bits (128+). Since ActiView is designed to separate the hi and lo bytes of the status channel, is there a straightforward way to combine them and allow for large trigger values to be properly displayed and recorded? I anticipate having to alter the trigger screen vi and possibly do some bit swapping, but I wanted to inquire here first.
Thanks in advance!
David
