Hello,
The DAQmx Read VI does not seem to take the timeout I set into account: when the connection with my cDAQ 9181 is lost, I would like the Read VI try only once to read the data and quicly return an error instead of waiting for 10+ seconds.
The attached screenshot summarizes the problem: I let the while loop run for a while normally before to unplug the ethernet cable from the cDAQ to simulate a network failure. As you can see, it took more than 18 seconds for the Read VI to return an error although I set the timeout to 1 second.
I am obviously misunderstanding something, but what?
The module is a NI-9206
Thank you!
