use both protocol and digital outputs

[berguenstein]

Hi there,

Until here, I've done quite a few things, with the magnificient help of attila.

I've done a lot a threads that can use the AD2 to record the analog inputs, or the digital inputs, that can configure the analog outputs or the digital outputs. When I run all of those threads together, it works perfectly fine (except for the tick of my PC, that doesn't allow me to be really fast with the digital outputs, but it's not a big problem for the moment).

And then, the UART appeared. I have to say, it works great.

The problem is with the UART and the digital outputs. When both are asked (for example logic '1' to DIO 0 and send "This is just a simple test to know if everything works fine" on the Tx at the <<same>> time, the DIO will wait for the end of the UART Transmit).

I've tested with with another configuration for the digital output (pulse at 1kHz), and the AD2 stops the pulse when the UART appears.

Is it normal or do I do something wrong?

Thanks for your help

Marc

Hi @berguenstein

This is the expected behavior. The Protocol tool uses the same hardware resource so only one can run at a time.

Okay, thank you
