3. Break Down of Burst Mode DLL

4. Break Down of ‘Flip Flop’

5. Summary
Raw C code, Static Libraries and Dynamic Link Libraries have been written to perform all of the necessary tasks in this process
Some of the projects are simple, others are partially test, but the majority of the code has not been tested
A lot of the code relies on Jack Hickish’s programming last year which is also largely untested

6. Remaining Tasks Finish writing documentation on the code
Have a look at the Burst Mode DLL – it is currently serving both burst and continuous mode and this needs checking
Test the code!
Use and refine the LabVIEW GUI
