ControlDesk Automation in dSpace

[Crispen]

I am having trouble using the ControlDesk automation libraries in
python. In particluiar running the automation in a thread. My code is
as follows, is keeps coming up with this strange error. Any help would
be great.

Crispen

import cdacon
from time import sleep
from cdautomationlib import *

def Auto():
sleep(0.5)
# triggering://dSPACE NumericInput Control_1:WriteData
Instrumentation().ConnectionController.DisableSystemPoll()
Instrumentation().Layouts.Item("c:\\users\\matlab
files\\triggering.lay").Instruments.Item("dSPACE NumericInput
Control_1").Value = 1.0000000000000000
Instrumentation().ConnectionController.ProcessAnimationEvent
("triggering://dSPACE NumericInput Control_1","WriteData")
Instrumentation().ConnectionController.EnableSystemPoll()
sleep(0.5)
# triggering://dSPACE NumericInput Control_1:WriteData
Instrumentation().ConnectionController.DisableSystemPoll()
Instrumentation().Layouts.Item("c:\\users\\matlab
files\\triggering.lay").Instruments.Item("dSPACE NumericInput
Control_1").Value = 0.00000000000000000

Instrumentation().ConnectionController.ProcessAnimationEvent("triggering://dSPACE

Crispen,

I am afraid that you won't find many dspace users on
comp.lang.python. The code you produced is quite hard
to read, we lack some info about the context of your
app and you didn't provide what the error you encounter
is ...

Maybe you should provide a minimal python code that
does not work, and give us the corresponding error
message.

If it is Python related, I guess that you'll probably
get a reply. If it is related to dspace, maybe you
should try comp.soft-sys.matlab (?), or any other group
that may discuss dspace issues.

Regards,

Seb
