That gives you a python tuple (a specific python type of list) of the (default number of) 64 integer values.
To just get a specific integer use this:



[code]# used with code above.
analogin0 = analogin[0]
analogin1 = analogin[1]
# etc


Gstat is a useful library for working with linuxcnc in python
(not sure what version of linuxcnc you are using.)

Thanks Cmorley,

I knew how to do the first part of the code but wasn't up to the second bit you showed me, where you get individual values from the tuple, so that's useful.
Problem is I wouldn't know what the analogue value referred to. In Andy's example it states the input I'm reading is input number 0, on 7i76E, board number 0.
So at present the Linuxcnc Status values such as "ain", "din", "dout", etc are a complete mystery to me.

Thanks for the info and link to Gstat too.
