Hi Adam,

As you probably know, the EBM/101 is an Ethernet PARSER. Essentially,
it captures an entire incoming IP packet, compares it to the user
defined "signature" and if the packet is "interesting" it stores the
entire packet in a buffer (which can be up to 1518 bytes in size -
driven by the MTU). You can then choose which words from the message

Hi Adam,

Ya Adam. That's nothing to do with your program or even the dll contents.
It's actually that Matlab is again breaking the existing mex interface.

From what I understand, all we need to do to "fix" this issue is to rename
the iadsread.dll to iadsread.mex32. Give it a shot and see it the warning

I did some quick research on the .dll convention for MEX.

Looking at some discussions on the topic It appears that all you would
need todo is rename the file from *.dll to *.mexw32 although matlab
indicates it would need a recompile. Evidently this is not yet

I have a few questions as I pound away at a GUI for my engineers w/o iads.
When I run my GUI I get the following warning:
"Calling MEX-file 'C:\Program Files\IADS\MatlabExtension\iad sread.dll'.
MEX-files with .dll extensions will not execute in a future version of MATLAB."

Short of building a time machine out of a DeLorean can anyone tell me what

Adam,

If you want to use the MakeBlob function to recreate the original packet,
you should probably run it as an OA equation and trigger off the last
parameter in the PCM map:

SetTriggerParam( ParamN ), MakeBlob( numberOfBitsPerParameter, Param1,
Param2, ..., ParamN )

If you need help formulating the Decom function arguments for a given field,

Eileen,

Try this:

list = iadsread( 'DataDirectory or ServerName$PortId', '', 0, '? select
Parameter,ShortName,LongName,U nits from ParameterDefaults');

That will return a structure where you can call each instance by the '.' notation.
list.Parameter
list.ShortName
list.LongName
list.Units

No, the HeaderRows option is only available on export to CSV and
Excel.

Is it possible to export (to Matlab), \

this to work?

Hi Adam-
It's funny you should post this now because another user just asked me about this.
Right now unfortunately your choices for dealing with the data that comes from this card is to either
a) use the various concat, bit_pick and convert functions to split your data from the 16 bit words directly.

EBM/101 out from IADS..

2009-11-15T03:08:14Z

We have the EBM/101 Ethernet but monitor from ACRA to read in a UDP
message from another DAS and was wondering if anyone has already gone
through the process of recreating the Ethernet messages from IADS? Such
that another application can process the messages as if it was directly
connected to the DAS. I guess this would be TCP/IP tunneling over TM.

Yes, this sounds like something more sinister ;)

Hmmm... Ok, I think I can explain the scale changing. Maybe the display is
set to "Dynamic Scaling"? If so, it would rescale based on the current
parameter data. Put your cursor in the StripChart and "right
click->Display->Dynamic Scaling". Is that optioning active (checked)?

Local Mode, but I'm sure that I save the config file (because I change some other displays)

Hi Antonio,

Actually, it sounds like your config file is "read only" and the save is
failing.

Are you using the PostTestDataServer or "local mode"?

Kathy,

Unfortunately, looks like it can't be turned off for CSV files.

Looking at the import code, Matlab (and possibly Excel and a majority of the
other programs you would export to) have "issues" with when a variable name
starts with a number.

The long term answer (as Eric points out) is to avoid numeric based
