Hi!
To sample as fast as possible you’ve to configure your steps first, using function AdcUdt::setStep:
-
Avaraging = 0
-
SaD = 0
-
OpD = 0
Then you call PruIo::config()
-
Samp is the number of samples to fetch. In MM mode it’s the size of the buffer, libpruio stops when the buffer is full. In RB mode the buffer is used as a ring buffer an sampling continues. Samp <= 1 means single mode (no accurate timing = variable sampling rate).
-
Tmr is the number of ns between the samples (MM and RB mode only), so that’s the parameter to specify the sampling rate.
io_input.c uses single mode. Better start with rb_file.c example:
`
/** \file rb_file.c
\brief Example: fetch ADC samples in a ring buffer and save to file.
This file contains an example on how to use the ring buffer mode of
libpruio. A fixed step mask of AIN-0, AIN-1 and AIN-2 get configured
for maximum speed, sampled in to the ring buffer and from there saved
as raw data to some files.
