USB Serial Communication under Real Time Windows Target delay

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi!
I have a set of USB IMUs from Microstrain (through Virtual COM Port) and I'm trying to use them in Real Time Windows Target. To communicate with the devices I use the Packet Input block for serial communications. I am able to build and run the real time code, but the sensor readings are coming in very delayed (something like 30 seconds after I move the sensor). Does anyone has an idea about what the problem might be?
Thanks, Paulo

Hi! I accidentally discovered how to make the delay go away, just make a second copy of the block packet input. I don't why this happens, but having two packet input block doing the exact same thing to the same COM port, solves this issue. Hope it helps.
