Input and Output Interfaces

Hello
The input and output boards that I am currently writing my DLL for are actually separate model boards... Should I code them as separate modules or is it safe to do them together...?

I guess for the sake of code re-use each one should be a separate DLL ?

Thanks
I don't believe they function as a single comport - I believe they are separate... Actually, I don't believe they are even classed as a commport, but I need to dig deeper into the existing code to verify.

Hi again ( and hopefully sirnoname )

I'm going through the 10BitUSB interface source code to adapt it to my own hardware.

Can I please ask a few questions ( sorry but they're not in programmatic order ) just to confirm my understanding...

* It seems that the input data is read via the method ContinuousReadThread ?

* It also seems the output data is written via the SetValue method..? Not sure if I missed somehting there..

* I notice the function ReadOutPacket contains a writefile function - so is this a read or write function ? perhaps it is not named correctly ?

* Lastly, the GetInputs seems to list the inputs numerically for the calling program right ? How does the calling program access the output numbers ? i know they get setup in one of the functions, but I can't see how the calling prog knows which outputs to write to..?

Thanks
Tim

Thanks Martin
Do you mind if I get you to check my understanding please ?

This leaves me puzzled then.. I've checked here - http://www.x-simulator.de/wiki/Writing_ ... ofiler_2.x
This list doesn't tell me which method is the read input from device method :
•DllInfo GetType(void);
•IOsharing GetInterfaceIO(void);
•INPUTSTRUCT GetInput(bool inputs[255]);
•int ExecuteVirtual(void);
•int SetOutput(int number, unsigned int wert);
•int IsConnected(void);
•int SetVirtualOutput(int number, unsigned int wert);
•void InitDLL(void);
•void EnableThread(bool enable);
•void OpenSettingsDialog(void);

The descriptions in the manual don't seem to talk about the actual reading function.. I was expecting to see the profiler call the read method which would run in it's own thread - is that assumption wrong ? I think I'm missing something - sorry in advance.

Ahhhh !!! The penny drops. Thanks for clarifying that...

Now, onto the output side of things... Just to be sure - I should use the virtual set function for outputting my motion control commands ?
