Clock Manager & Associated Commands

matt95gsr

Has anyone worked yet with the "Clock Manager NetLinx Programming API" as defined in the NI Series WebConsole and Programming Guide? I thought I'd take a look into using the library calls that are supposed to be present to support working with the clock manager directly from the program, but it doesn't seem to be supported by my currently installed software. The Programming Guide shows a revision date of 11/16/06, and it states that the new NetLinx.axi will support some new types, constants, and library calls to work with Clock Manager. I just finished reinstalling NetLinx Studio 2.5 Build 163 from the website, but there's been no change to my NetLinx.axi. As such, I can't compile a program referencing any of these Clock Manager items. Does anyone have a new NetLinx.axi (apparently it's supposed to be 1.28)?

Documentation got released before the software?

Usually, netlinx.axi gets updated when Studio does. It might be part of the next release, and the API doc is just ahead of it a bit.

Thanks, Dave. That's the same thing I was thinking but just wondered if anyone else knew more about it than I did. I didn't actually set out to mess with the clock manager, just kind of stumbled upon the notes for it yesterday and figured I'd try it out.

NetLinx.axi update

The v1.28 of the AXI file was supposed to be in the last release of Studio, but somehow got missed. If you need the file, please contact Tech Support at AMX and it can be sent to you.
