Psychtoolbox>Datapixx.{mex*} subfunction

status = Datapixx(‘GetAdcStatus’);

Returns a struct containing the following ADC status information:
-“dacAdcLoopback” is 1 if ADC inputs are driven internally by DAC outputs, or 0
if ADC inputs report real analog inputs.
-“freeRunning” is 1 if ADC hardware is sampling continuously, or 0 if it only
samples on ADC acquisition schedule ticks.
-“scheduleRunning” is 1 if the analog acquisition schedule is currently running,
or 0 if stopped.
-“scheduleOnset” is the programmed delay in seconds between StartAdcSchedule
execution, and the first ADC sample acquisition.
-“scheduleRate” is the rate at which subsequent ADC samples are acquired.
-“scheduleRateUnits” is the programmed units of scheduleRate:
1: samples per second
2: samples per video frame
3: seconds per sample
-“numChannels” is the number of ADC channels scheduled for acquisition.
-“chanSelString” is a string with one selection status character per ADC
channel. If the channel is not scheduled, the character is ‘-‘; otherwise, the
status character is the channel number (eg: ‘01234567——–’ means that
channels 0 to 7 are stored in the acquisition buffer, but channels 8-15 are
not).
-“chanRefString” is a string with one reference status character per ADC
channel:
‘-‘: single ended, referenced to ground
‘D’: fully differential, referenced to adjacent channel
‘0’: differential, referenced to REF0
‘1’: differential, referenced to REF1
-“bufferBaseAddress” is the acquisition data buffer base address within the
Datapixx.
-“bufferSize” is the number of bytes in the acquisition data buffer.
-“numBufferFrames” is the total number of samples which fit in the acquisition
data buffer.
-“currentWriteFrame” is the buffer frame which will be written by the next
acquired ADC sample.
-“currentReadFrame” is the buffer frame which will be read by the next streaming
call to ReadAdcBuffer.
-“newBufferFrames” = currentWriteFrame - currentReadFrame. This is the maximum
number of frames which can be read by the next call to ReadAdcBuffer in
streaming mode, without causing a streaming underflow.
-“maxScheduleFrames”, if non-0, is the value of currentWriteFrame which will
automatically stop the schedule.
-“numStreamUnderflows” is the number of ReadAdcBuffer streaming underflows which
have occurred since SetAdcSchedule. See ReadAdcBuffer for details.
-“numStreamOverflows” is the number of ReadAdcBuffer streaming overflows which
have occurred since SetAdcSchedule. See ReadAdcBuffer for details.
See DatapixxAdc*Demo files for examples.
