DDC_CreateFile : File Type?, channel mode?

[stephan.gerhards]

Hello

I am using CVI 8.0 and must save data from a continuous measurement. The customer wants me to write it to Diadem format. So I had a look at the (new?) Diadem Conectivity library in CVI 8.

From the documentation it seems to me, that this library only supports the new TDM format. But the second parameter in the DDC_CreateFile function is named “File Type”. The documentation is only speaking of TDM file type. What file types are supported by the library? Only TDM? Or is also the older DAT type supported?

The second question is about continuous saving the date. I know, that the DAT file type supports a “block mode”, which is perfect to save data, when you do not know, how much data it will be. But when I look at the function, it seems to me that only the “channel mode” is supported. Is this right?

No, the old DAT Format is not supported. The Parameter maybe a placeholder for future versions, when more file-formats might be supported.

Stephan,

The DDC library currently only supports channel mode.
