datasocket event

[ArunKamath]

Hi

Am using DataSocket to communicate between 2 applications, one of the application will be running on the RT PXI, and other on a normal PC. Presently I have created a while(1) loop in labview with DSread function in it to check arrival of latest data, this would not be very efficient, is it possible in any way that I can trigger event on change of data, in DataSocket item, As far as I know event structure can be used only for UI control's and that will not be used in RT. kindly give any suggestion

hi

when using the datasocket read function you can use the "wait for new data" switch in conjugation with the timeout parameter of the functions. the function gives you an output that indicates a timeout. by doing so the function waits until new data arrives or the timeout occurs.
