How to work with the Fast Mode in VB using the ActiveX

During the Fast Mode process the board transmits mass data to the PC. Therefore, in order to avoid data loss, all the actions on your PC should be minimized.

1. Define string Array

Dim Fast_mode_Data(1 to SizeOfArray) as String Dim fmCounter as long 'Current counter (index(

2.Select Filter: Filter=Filter2

3.To start the Fast Mode:

Call LCICwim_commands1.Start_Fast_Mode(Filter(

4.In the event DataArrivalInFastMode:

'Get current block:

fmCounter = fmCounter + 1 Fast_mode_Data(fmCounter =(

LCICwim_commands1.Get_CurrentBlock

So, all arrived data are stored in the array Fast_mode_Data

5. To terminate the Fast Mode:

Call LCICwim_commands1.Stop_Fast_Mode Except the last one, each block will still cause a DataArrivalInFastMode event, as described in para. 3.

In the DataArrivalLastInFastMode event that the last block will cause:

fmCounter = fmCounter + 1

Fast_mode_Data(fmCounter) =

LCICwim_commands1.Get_LastBlock

TotalTimeInFastMode =

LCICwim_commands1.Get_Time_ms
