Greetings,

GetVirtualBits(49): Don't seem to work like GetKflopBits()??

Is there something special I need to do, to get the info., as to "if" the output is on or off, or the input is on or off?

I use this for my LED control, on my CNC Software Screens... I am wanting to make an option to use the Konnect board, which I have. The functionality of the board works, outputs are going on and off. Just need to get control of the LED's... when using or when I install a Konnect board.

Thanks so much!

Note: I am able to get the input LED's to work... and the code for them works. GetVirtualBitsEx0(1024). This is my input 1 on the Konnect Board.

Problem is with the GetVirtualBits(??).

Thanks,

Hi jeffserv,

The 1024 Extended Virtual bits are packed into 32-bit words. The first 32 (first word) are uploaded with the main status (as VirtualBitsEx0) as a quick way of being able to access those first 32 without having to do a more expensive USB communication to KFLOP to get them individually. To access those "fast" Virtual Extended Bits use the GetVirtualBitsEx0() function with a parameter of 0-31 that correspond to KFLOP Bits 1024-1055.

Similarly you can read the 16 original Virtual bits with GetVirtualBits() function with a parameter of 0-15 that correspond to KFLOP Bits 48-63

You might look at the source code for the KM_MainStatus for which values are available in the Main Status and how to access them.

HTH

That is it... 0-15... Thanks, I will try that.

The Ex0(1024) seems to work however also.

Thanks,
