Hi all,

 

I am very new to the FX3 and I am trying to stream data from a 32 bit bus sampled at 10MHz to the computer. Data is sampled on the GPIF using two alternating threads. A program written on linux using libusb and cython simply reads 2MB of data (for now) and dumps it to the disk. 

Currently, I have a testbench set up to generate a 16-bit binary counter to be sampled. However, looking at the dumped data returned, there are (seemingly random) gaps in the data where the counter will jump values. I cant seem to find any consistency as to where the data drops and how much will be lost. 

Is there any way to figure out how to avoid packet loss?

Thanks!

EDITTED for better clarity

Hello Jason,

As the size of the DMA buffer used is 8KB , width of GPIF II data bus used is 32 bits and based on the implementation of GPIF II state machine, I feel that a count limit of 2046 should resolve the issue. Can you please try setting the counter limit to 2046 and let me know the results?

Best Regards,
Jayakrishna
