Temporarily Suspending Updates to Front Panel Indicators (DSP Module)
When you build a DSP application for a DSP target, the DSP Module allocates a block of memory on the DSP target for front panel indicators. When you run the DSP application on the DSP target, the front panel indicators do not update in real time because the host PC only monitors these front panel memory blocks several times a second to minimize the impact on real-time performance. You still might notice a significant impact on real-time performance in some DSP applications. Therefore, you might want to suspend updates to the front panel indicators while the DSP application is running and take periodic snapshots of the indicator values as the following procedure describes.

Note 6713 DSK This periodic updating substantially impacts the real-time execution of the DSP application on the 6713 DSK target. |
You can temporarily suspend updates to the front panel indicators while a DSP application runs on the DSP target. Complete the following steps to suspend updates to the front panel indicators:
- Click the Run button to build, download, and run the DSP application on the DSP target.
- Select Operate»Disconnect Indicators to suspend updates to the front panel indicators.
|
Note LabVIEW still updates the control values on the DSP target if you change the controls in the front panel window. |
- (Optional) Select Operate»Snapshot to update the front panel indicators with the values in the front panel memory blocks on the DSP target.
- Select Operate»Disconnect Indicators to remove the checkmark next to Disconnect Indicators and begin updating the front panel indicators again.
