Ok, here's some background behind what I'm trying to do. I'm
operating a radio astronomy synthesis imaging array. It uses a
Matlab GUI to control the azimuth and elevation of the antennas in the
array, continually updating them to track astronomical objects. I'm
using a Labview VI to acquire data because we were unable to get Matlab to
synchronously sample on multiple DAQ boards. I'm using NI PCI-6115
boards, by the way. I need to be able to move back and forth between
one source (a calibrator) and another source (the object of
interest). However, I only want to acquire data when the antennas
are on source, so I need some way for the control software in Matlab to be
able to tell the data acquisition software in Labview when the antennas
have arrived so data can be acquired, and for the Labview software to tell
Matlab when it's done acquiring so the antennas can be moved to the other
source. I was thinking of having two separate text files for control
signals, one for matlab to write to and labview to read from, and the
other vice versa. If anyone has any ideas as to how this could work
better, I would greatly appreciate it.Thank you very much.Alan
