Oscilloscope Signals

1 New Member
Greetings,

I am stuck on a topic for TAFE and cannot get my head around it.

I need to Write a program to use a D to A converter board to output various signals which can be viewed on an oscilloscope.

I have made the Triangle wave, which works, but am stuck on the sine wave.

Code for sine wave thus far is:

int val;
int DCBias = 128;
int steps = 128;
int lp;


double dg = 3.141592654 / (steps/2);
val = sin(lp * dg) * 127 + DCBias;


for (lp = 0; lp <= 128; lp ++)
{ outp (DataPort,val);
delay (20);
}

printf("Press any key to exit Sine Wave output\n");
while (!kbhit()) break();
It will not compile and I keep getting errors. I think the problem lies within the last line of while the keyboard is hit, perform a break.

Thanks in advance for any help.

'break' is not a function and you don't even want to break out of that loop as long
as there is no key hit yet. Also, I think that the same signal value is sent to that
device for 129 times.

kind regards,

Greetings, I need to handle signals to close some excel applications that my script open, when the script is killed by another process. My script is a little bit complex, but I wrote just two very small scripts to test the kill and signal. The scripts signal.pl is this one: map {$SIG{$_} = sub {my $n = shift; print "n=$n\n"}} keys %SIG;

Hi, I am writing an application in C++ on Linux, using threads (this is my first experience with pthreads). The application itself is fine, it is just that I wanted to handle asynchronous signals correctly, in particular the SIGINT, preventing the application from stopping ungracefully. Indeed, I'd like to catch the signal, close everything in a consistent way and stop the application.

Hello, I am looking for material that describes how *precisely* UNIX-based signals interact with the normal C++ execution flow of control and guidelines on how to treat signals in an "object-oriented style". So far I have not been able to locate much on the subject. Can anyone provide any pointer/information or suggestion? Thanks, max

Hi everyone, I'd like to know when and how signals are used (e.g. SIGFPE, SIGABRT, SIGTERM, SIGSEGV, SIGINT)? Thank you so much.

Hello all. I've got a bunch of existing, non managed, C++ DLLs that export types with, among other things, public events implemented using the boost::signals library. Now, I need to have these DLL interoperate with managed code. Among others things, the managed code need to be able to register for notification with the boost signals. I've tried different approaches (trying to register a pinned delegate with the boost::signal, etc...),

Dear All, I have some a program in which I link a static library. The static library has a initialize() and uninitialized() function.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
