Gavin,

Are you using the API to receive that variable or using something in vi to do that? It sounds like your receiving of the text information is not being flushed into ni when appropriate. You will need to use a routine in NI that does not wait for a newline \\n in order for the function to reply with the received information.

STeven.

Gavin,

You have the syntax wrong. Be sure to read the API page at

http://www.roborealm.com/help/API.php

You probably are looking for

<request>
<get_variable>COG_X</get_variable>
</request>

as your is an incorrect combination of the API and the VBScript module.

this is a vi that can be used to get variables from rr.
attention:first run rr api server!
