Dashboard Reader Buffers Full
The 512 buffers or the READ VI get used up after a short time: then the DISPLAY VI stops updating the data from the RC or OI in a timely fashion. Data input stops for seconds. I thought that we had added too much functionality: we coded every frame element available and added a DAQ VI to read Victor controller output while using the dashboard. Then went back to the original dashboard and added the DAQ vi. Still throughput problems. Can we improve this or is it a limitation of the 19200 baud rate?
By the way this is a great tool to introduce students to LabVIEW.
