That was just a supposition. I have not seen such a thing in the Analogy NI driver (inherited from the Comedi one). Have you had a look at the Comedi list ? I just read again your first mail. You said the NI Linux driver provides the requested option. Do you have any source code ?

The problem with the command system is that it expects a continuous data transfer until the end of the acquisition. Maybe, a way to quickly implement it would be to use an instruction (it may be possible, I cannot ensure you); but to do so I need the code which properly programs the DAQ-STC. > Ettore > > >> All the best > >> Ettore > >> > >> _______________________________________________ > >> Xenomai-help mailing list > >> [email protected] > >> https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help > > > > -- > > Alexis. > > > > > > -- > Ettore Pedretti, SUPA > School of Physics and Astronomy > University of St Andrews, North Haugh, > St Andrews, Fife, KY16 9SS, Scotland > Ph: +44-1334-461666, Fax: +44-1334-463104 > The University of St Andrews is a charity registered in Scotland : No SC013532 -- Alexis. _______________________________________________ Xenomai-help mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help
