Hi All,
Here's what I'm trying to do:
I have a DMX/USB converter cable that I want to read a DMX signal into Labview with. I need to parse out only one channel of the 512 (that needs to be specified by the user) to command a solenoid valve with, that will fire a flame jet. I am new-ish to LabVIEW and have never worked with DMX signals before. What would be the best way to go about doing this? I was thinking of counting the microsecond breaks in the signal to parse out the different channels, and then reading the values from there (fire should be a value of 255). Am I working along the right lines here or is there an easier way? Also, what is the maximum frequency that I can read in a signal at, i.e. will I even be able to distinguish microsecond breaks in the signal?
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm really at a loss on where to start with this one. Thanks in advance!
