Buffer overflow

[LawrenceChong]

I am using the following circular buffer:

Is there a way to read(Continuous) data from the circular buffer while the circular buffer is overflow? (Not to increase the buffer size and not to increase the reading speed.)

Since it will pop up an error if you read(Continuous) data from the circular buffer while the circular buffer is overflow.

How to handle buffer overflow?

The diagrams of the circular biffer are not password protected, so you can make any changes you possibly want, then save the result under a new name.

First you simply need to suppress the generation of errors if a buffer overflow occurs, then you need to decide how the program should deal with buffer overflow. It is in no way obvious what it should do instead. Data will be lost and the outcome will be unpredictable.. 😉

It will only popup an error if both of the following conditions are met:

1. You have automatic errror handling enabled (the default setting)
2. You don't have the error out wired (You could just wire it to the nearest structure boundary and the error popup will no longer show)

If you don't want to see the error popup, simply wire the error output. 😄
