Datasocket Binding

[cs42]

I have got yet another struggle with the LV DCS 8.2 Runtime:

In my application I assign controls programmatically to DSC Tags (now shared variables, unfortunately I have to use the datasocket method). This works sofar but it takes ages for the LED to become green! The LED of controls found turns from red to grey and if the first new value is available it turns to green. But as I used deadbands and some of the data doesn't change very often it can take ages. This is esp. true for input values as they only change if the user changes them!

NI, you should have stayed with the 7.1 DSC system. At least it worked.

I really regret we started to switch to LV 8.2 and if there'd be an alternative...

The disturbing thing is, that it works much faster in the Dev Environment even if I read the SVs over the network!

Hi CS42,

I am sorry that you have difficulties working with DSC and Shared Variables.

From the Information you provided, we were not able to reproduce the behavior you discribed.

It would be a good help, if you create 2 very simple example projects (Client/Server) and send these. We could check settings and we would be able to see the problems.

Hi Stefan,

sorry I didn't reply earlier but I was really busy with some projects.

Actually this effect seemed to be caused by a configuration problem of the NI Software. Being used to LV DSC RTS 7.1 I just installed the DSC RTS 8.20 and thought all would work. But it seems like more must be installed...

So I created an installer which included everything that might be needed (DSC, USI, Variable Manager, Datasocket, DSC Deployment, etc.) and installed my program using this installer. After this everything works fine.

It's really strange that with the first installation everything worked partially, though.

Cheers,
Carsten
