Re: Aw: Re: Streaming Serial Octave

[inertialwave]

I have evaluated some of the serial data reading options mentioned in my
prior email.

I used a serial device streaming data for 10 seconds at 500 lines/sec. with
15 bytes/line using 115200 baud rate. The lines were read in and written to
a log file one line at a time. The device is capable of a wired (USB)
connection or a Bluetooth 4.0 classic connection.

Wired (Real) COM Port
Case 0: Python w/ PySerial module:  all 75000 characters received and logged
with no misses.
           (The Python script was called in an Octave system command: e.g.,
system("python readCOM.py"));

Case 1: Octave only; the Python script was replaced using Octave fopen and
fread commands
            The first lines were read and then a quantity of lines were
missed (<200) and after that all lines  
             were read reliably without misses

Case 2: Octave serialport:  the Python script was replaced using serialport
serial and spread
            There were some initial warnings about sockets setup and a few
lost lines initially otherwise misses 
            1 line after ~1.5sec

Virtual (Bluetooth) COM Port
Case 0: Python: Successfully opens virtual COM port: No misses

Case 1: Failed: [fid, msg]=fopen('\\.\COM24','rb') -> fid=-1 , msg= invalid
arugment 
           (previously msg= Permission denied; not sure what changed)

Case 2: Successfully opens virtual COM port but not usable; suffers multiple
failures throughout 10 secs.

Python batch processing and is superior when streaming analysis of the data
in Octave is not needed
Octave is simpler than Octave/serialport for real (wired) COM ports.
Octave/serialport was not useable for virtual (Bluetooth) COM ports.
Iinstrument-control was not evaluated; I don't otherwise need cygwin

My hope is that someone can help me find a valid argument using fopen for
virtual COM ports so
I can simply use native Octave for streaming analysis of real time serial
device data.
