NeuroRighter's file writing buffering system should be bypassed, DatSrv should be used instead #56

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The original NR file writing system had it's own buffer included to allow for 
communication between the real time acquisition thread and the slower 
file-writing thread.  Discrepancies between the two could lead to 'buffer 
overrun' errors.  Since there is another buffering system in place used by the 
closed loop code, why should we have two buffers?  Also, the DatSrv buffer has 
a user-defined length, so it would allow for tweaking to remove some of the 
'buffer overrun' errors.
