EX1629 Command Set 211
confidence scan list is set to five elements, five real values of confidence data will be acquired for each channel in
the regular channel scan list. The next five data elements in the confData[] array will be confidence data for the next
channel in the scan list and so on. If a scan list has x channels and the confidence scanlist has a length of y, then
there will be x•y data items placed in the confData array each scan.
vtex1629_read_fifo will return as soon as either the maxscans scans of data have been retrieved, or the timeout
(to_secs) expires, whichever happens first.
There are other mechanisms for retrieving data from the EX1629. Please see Retrieving Data (Read FIFO and
Streaming Data) for more information.
