2.4.2 - eStreamRead

Returns data from an initialized and running LJM stream buffer. Waits for data to become available, if necessary.

Syntax

LJM_ERROR_RETURN LJM_eStreamRead(
                int Handle, 
                double * aData, 
                int * DeviceScanBacklog, 
                int * LJMScanBacklog)

Parameters

Handle [in]

A device handle. The handle is a connection ID for an active device. Generate a handle with LJM_Open or LJM_OpenS.

aData [out]

An array that contains the values being read. Returns all channels interleaved. Must be large enough to hold (ScansPerRead * NumAddresses) values, where ScansPerRead and NumAddresses are values passed to LJM_eStreamStart. The data returned is removed from the LJM stream buffer.

DeviceScanBacklog [out]

The number of scans left in the device buffer, as measured from when data was last collected from the device. DeviceScanBacklog should usually be near zero and not growing.

LJMScanBacklog [out]

The number of scans left in the LJM buffer, which does not include concurrent data sent in the aData array. LJMScanBacklog should usually be near zero and not growing.

Returns

LJM errorcodes or 0 for no error.

Remarks

Before calling this function, create a data buffer using LJM_eStreamStart. To stop stream, use LJM_eStreamStop.

If LJM_eStreamRead gives error 1301 (LJME_LJM_BUFFER_FULL) or many -9999 values in aData, here are some strategies to help.

Example

See the LJM_eStreamStart page for an example using LJM_eStreamRead.
