retrieve just plain 16bit int instead of double?

[mael15]

hi,

i have a usb-6210 that has a 16-bit resolution. to my suprise, i get double values (64bit) when i use measurement studio in c#. this is quite a waste of memory, but i could not get the driver to deliver 16 bit values (integer or binary values or whatever). i do not want to waste computing capacity with conversions after retrieval.

how can i get 16bit values from the device?

thanx in advance!!

is there really no way to get 16bit values from a 16bit device?!

Check out the AnalogUnscaledReader class. I believe that this gives you the data you are looking for.

You might also want to check out DaqStream.ReadRaw, but I think this data is even less processed than what you want.

Please let us know if either of these meets your needs or if you are looking for something else.
