Hi guys, please I need some help. In this timer function I am running a test continously from StartTestWithSocket().
But at the same time, I am using "DS_GetDataType" to get data through the datasocket just a string such as "runTest2"
Once I received that string, if it is a valid string the system will stop and start that particular test.
I am trying to use a time, my StartTestWithSocket() function is running (it must be running continously), but other piece of codes not running. SO I cannot waht my incoming string.
Any help please.
int CVICALLBACK timer (int panel, int control, int event,
void *callbackData, int eventData1, int eventData2)
{
char commandSent[11];
GetCtrlVal (panelHandle, PANEL_COMM_RECEIVED , commandSent); //command needed to start StartTestWithSocket()
StartTestWithSocket(); // running tests continously
//reading the from datasocket
while (true)
{
errorCode = DS_GetDataType (DSReadHandle, NULL, &StringLen, NULL);
if (StringLen ==0) //No data received
{
MessagePopup ("DATASOCKET ERROR",
"No data received. Connect Write DataSocket first");
return 0;
}
else
ReadString= malloc(StringLen +1);
//Get the string from DataSocket Writer
errorCode = DS_GetDataValue (DSReadHandle, CAVT_CSTRING,
ReadString, StringLen+1, 0, 0);
Checkerror(errorCode);
//Get the index value from DataSocket Writer
//errorCode = DS_GetAttrValue (DSReadHandle, "Index", CAVT_SHORT,
// &WriteData.index, sizeof(short), 0, 0);
Checkerror(errorCode);
//No errors, write data
if (errorCode>=0)
{
InsertTextBoxLine(panelHandle,PANEL_COMM_RECEIVED, -1, ReadString);
// SetCtrlVal(PanelHandle, DS_READ_INDEX,WriteData.index);
}
.... if ReadString==valid command and ReadString!=commandSent, stop test and start new test
}
return 0;
}
