ADP3450 reboot via runtime library

[AbbyM]

Hi there,

Is there a way to reboot the ADP3450 or ADP3250 device via the ADept runtime library?  I'm using a C++ program to collect data from it but want to see if I can have the program attempt to reconnect to the ADPro if it loses connection.  But during my testing, I have noticed I need to reboot the ADPro device completely to be able to reconnect once the connection is lost.   Is there a way to hard reboot the device using a software command?  Or does that have to be done physically through the power switch?

Thank you,

Abby

Hi @AbbyM

How did you make the connection to be lost ?

This (config 0x8000) reboots the device but it requires to be able to connect to it: dwf.FDwfDeviceConfigOpen(c_int(#), c_int(0x8000), byref(hdwf))

Hi @attila

I am not sure, it just occasionally loses connection on its own. Possibly power issues, we are looking into it now.   But I also saw this issue on one device even using the included AC wall adapter, and if I rebooted both the ADpro and my Raspberry Pi device, the issue went away.   I don't think I was letting the computer go to sleep.  

That command is great to know though thanks

Hi @AbbyM

If you are not using the Ethernet this can be disabled under the Network settings.
Having this enable for Standard boot mode it may block the device, for a few seconds, during the initial network setup or until timeout if there is no link.

OK I will try that after the holidays, thanks!

Hi @attila

Tried disabling network for standard boot but that did not prevent this issue.  I noticed after rebooting the Raspberry Pi that it connected on the first try.  It might be some kind of process being held up in the OS?
