Hi David,

I decided to do a quick rewrite of my code in c. While that solves my initial problem, I’ve run into a problem trying to a launch a thread which is necessary for the PVPUT in the _seq.st code:

 

state reading

{

  biasmoduleThread();

There are only a limited number of things that can appear directly inside a state block, and calls to functions are not one of them. If you want a function to be called when/before the state program first starts, look at the documentation for Global Entry and Exit blocks as a global entry block appears to be what you want (and not a State Entry block since that would be called every time the sequencer enters that state).

HTH,

- Andrew
