Q: How to use simple functions and continuous functions at the same time

A:

As opposed to the simple functions such as AioSingleAi, AioMultiAi, AioSingleAo and AioMultiAo etc., functions AioStartAi and AioStartAo are called continuous functions.
Please notice the following limitations while use simple functions and continuous functions at the same time.

Use simple functions after using continuous functions

If there is data remaining in the buffer, the data remaining in the buffer will be input/output when the simple function is executed.
Be sure to execute AioResetAiMemory or AioResetAoMemory before executing the simple function.

Use continuous functions after using simple functions

There are limitations depending on the device.

- E Series, B Series :
While using continuous functions after simple functions with E series and B series, it is necessary to reset device once.

- Other devices :
The usage differs by the memory type.

In FIFO memory
If there is data remaining in the buffer and you call simple functions, the management of data buffer may not under the control.
In this case, it become normal condition with clearing data buffer by calling AioResetAiMemory or AioResetAoMemory.

In RING memory
If you call simple functions, the management of data buffer may not under the control.
In this case, it become normal condition with clearing data buffer by calling AioResetAiMemory or AioResetAoMemory.
