Hello,
I have an application that is writing binary data to a file. Using LV, I need to open and read this file in,
update the chart, and continually update the chart as long as the data is new. The data is 8 byte
little endian format. The problem I am having right now is, after opening the file, which may have been
written to for an hour already, I need to fully update the chart with all the data, then continue to read the
file, looking for changed size, at a rate in the loop which will not hog out the processor. Is it possible to
accomplish both of these objecives in the same control loop, that is:
1 - Read in all the data from the file (after opening), and update the chart at the quickest time possible
2 - Continue to update the chart at a controlled rate (i.e., 50ms to 100ms loop time) until the user
selects stop.
Stuck on this one! Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks, Gary.
