Problem with zGetTraceArray

[B2015]

Hello,
Recently I've been experiencing problems using the function zGetTraceArray in order to perform spot plots. The function was working perfectly a few month ago when I wrote the code, though lately the code remains stuck when executing the code, more precisely at line 83 of the arraytrace.py file (e.g. return _arrayTrace(rd, int(timeout)) ). For some reason this piece of code never replies back whatever the timeout I set. I'm not sure why this happens but for some reason the dll remains silent. Have you experienced such a problem ?
All the best,
Ben

Hi @B2015,

In fact I have experienced this issue a few (probably three or four) of times. I am not sure why this happens (probably beyond my current knowledge of DLLs and DDE). However, every time, I got it to work if I restarted my computer (don't ask me why it resolves this ... ), and usually the problem doesn't appear for a while (I know, my answer is completely non scientific).
Let me know if you found anything.

Best regards,
Indranil.

Hi Indranil,
thanks much for the fast reply. It looks like people using matlab dde also having problems such as this, I will investigate a bit and come back if I find something interesting to share.
Best regards,
Ben

Hi Ben,

That would be great, if you could pinpoint the cause. I would love to resolve this issue (if it is possible to do so from PyZDDE or MZDDE). Therefore, I will leave this issue open.

Best regards,
Indranil.
