What happened to the C examples for reading fast input?

Post by benbaltes » Sun Sep 24, 2017 9:03 pm

I swear there used to be examples of reading the buffer from fast input in c code.

Now I only see Scilab and Labview?? http://blog.redpitaya.com/examples-new/ ... r-acquire/

I need to get my program working, and my C binary has been returning corrupted data (Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it comes back very wonky).

Attached C code for those who are interested. Maybe you can quickly spot what I'm doing wrong, I need to figure this out i've been stuck for days. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :|

if(rp_Init() != RP_OK){
        fprintf(stderr, "Rp api init failed!\n");
}
uint32_t buff_size = 7000;
float *buff = (float *)malloc(buff_size * iterationsToRun * sizeof(float));
rp_AcqReset();
rp_AcqSetDecimation(1); // Sample rate 125Msps; Buffer time length 131us; Decimation 1
if(fastinputchannel == 1){
      	rp_AcqSetTriggerLevel(RP_CH_1, 0.1); //Trig level is set in Volts while in SCPI (threshold)
}

	rp_AcqSetTriggerLevel(RP_CH_2, 0.1); //Trig level is set in Volts while in SCPI (threshold)

I also noticed that sometimes it behaves fine. But other times the trigger is never triggered. This persists even after a reboot.

It was happening two nights ago, I came back to it in the morning the next day and it worked.
