Hi Chris,

I’m having a couple problems with the new eye window. I can’t see auxiliary analog signals (but I can see digital signals), and when I try to delete variables from any of the fields in the options pop-out, the MWorks Client crashes.

Thanks,  
Evan

Hi Evan,

> I can’t see auxiliary analog signals

Are you using an actual analog input signal (e.g. from a NIDAQ), or are you just setting the aux X/Y variables manually?

At present, the eye window is designed such that only continuously-varying analog signals will be displayed. If the input variables are sitting at fixed values, then you won’t see anything in the eye window.

If you _are_ using real analog inputs, then I’ll need some more info, as the aux signal plotting works for me.

> when I try to delete variables from any of the fields in the options pop-out, the MWorks Client crashes

That’s definitely a bug. I’ll try to get a fix in to the nightly build soon.

Thanks,  
Chris

After our discussion, the problem was that one of the X/Y variables was a digital variable which wasn’t updating as often as the analog. The aux X/Y requires both X and Y variables configured, and only updates when both variables are updated.

It might be better if these requirements weren’t there for aux X/Y (as opposed to the eye signal), but I’ll discuss it with the lab. It’s not really an inconvenience right now, and there might be reasons to leave it as it is.
