IR port combining with diodes

Hello everyone,

I have an Universal Remote MRF350, which has an IR in and 6 IR out ports.
To prevent that I have to stick two IR emiters on every device, I combined the IR outs on my NI-3000 with diodes this works great, as long as I send to one device at a time. But when I want to send to a couple devices. Multiple IR ports get activated at the same time and the signal gets mangled. Is there a way I can delay the IR command to be send in consecutive way? The SP option only works for 1 IR ports. The other question I have but not so urgend. When I compile this line:

Result=ASTRO_CLOCK (Lon,Lat,-5,date,Sunrise,Sunset)

I get an warning saying converting SINTEGER to SINTEGER? Any idea why to compiler gives me this warning?

Thanks for your reply, Rene

    You can use a TIMELINE, or WAITs, or build your own queue. There is nothing automatic available; you have to write your own code.

    How are all your variables defined?

    GMT is supposed to be a DOUBLE so you can

    create a DOUBLE variable for the parameter or

    change -5 to -5.0

    Either change will get rid of the warning.
    The SINTEGER to SINTEGER warning seems misleading to me.

    Thanks Joe, yes it is confusing. But your trick worked, thanks.
