ai_transfer
Purpose:
-
Analog Input Transfer Task
Enter:
-
ai_transfer <priority> <rate1> [rate2] [rate3] [+c]
Where:
-
priority
Specify the task priority.
rate1
Specify one of the 3 timing intervals that has been identified when spawning the process ‘scheduler’. This is the rate at which the task will convert raw AI input data and place it in the transfer layer in engineering units.
rate2
Optional. Specify a second timing interval.
rate3 Optional. Specify a third timing interval.
+c
Optional. Specify this flag to indicate a critical task. If a critical task does not respond to scheduler soon enough, any tests being run will be shut down.
Example:
-
ai_transfer 15 MED +c &
The above command spawns ai_transfer with a system priority of 15. It converts analog input channels at the rate specified as MED by the scheduler. The task is to be considered a critical task. Normally, this command is executed in the CyFlex startup script (go.scp).
