Problem in using ChangeDetection Events.

[MaxTheMax]

Good morning.

I'm developing an application using LabWindows/CVI 2009 (Vs. 9.1.0 (428)) and I need to use the "Change Detection" interrupt to be warned as soon as possible of a variation of one or more digital lines on a port.

Using MAX, I have enabled the simulation of the following two boards:

PXI-6509

PXI-6528

Using the "NI Example Finder" tool, I found that both the boards can be used to run the "ReadDigChan" and the "ReadDigChan-ChangeDetectionEvent" examples. The "ReadDigChan" correctly works, i.e. I can see data on the example MMI (I can correctly see the LEDs enlightened following the algorithm realized by the NIDAQmx). Using the "ReadDigChan-ChangeDetectionEvent" I'm not able to see any variation in the MMI. Please note that:

•  The example can be compiled correctly.
•  The obtained executable runs without errors (no error returned by the used NIDAQmx routines).
•  A "printf()" instruction inserted at the beginning of the "ChangeDetectionCallback" callback is never executed, i.e. it's like the "Change Detection" were never generated.
•  The same behavior can be observed for both the simulated boards (PXI-6509, PXI-6528).

Any idea about possible errors in my operations? Is it possible that the change detection cannot be used in "simulation" mode?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance, Massimo.

Hi Massimo,

the first thing I've found is a document that explains why sometimes the change detection doesn't work as expected:

http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/53A4386656BBDC34862570DE005FDF77?OpenDocument

I don't think you problem is due to the use of simulated device, so maybe knowing the considerations of the previous document, everything will work right.

Hope it helps,

bye!
