Act_Screen.vi calculates the amount of data ("Display Blocksize") to be read from the ringbuffer for the next iteration of the program.

1)In the actiview program,what is the necessity to use a ring buffer?we had queue vis already,why it is not used in the program?

The ringbuffer allows direct memory access (DMA), please share your "queue vi" that achieves the same functionality with us.

Hello coen,
How you are achieving DMA programmatically in this ring buffer?

Writing data from the ActiveTwo system into the ringbuffer is handled by the USB driver (also see viewtopic.php?t=76), ActiView just reads the data from the ringbuffer.
