packing multiple different data - should I use join with @triggers -1 ?

I don't use [join] or [pak]. I have been prepending each data then send/receive then route. It stops one bit of data from re-triggering other bits of data

I don't want re-trigger other data

Not sure about elapsed time

Someone else knows that

You should answer that questin yourself.

do you need to pack or store

1 2 3 4 5 6 aaa

and

1 2 3 4 5 6 bbb

even if 1 2 3 4 5 6 came in only once and only aaa changed to bbb ?

your question about timing...

what should trigger sending of UDP data ?

measured time between received messages

or change in data which you call "other numbers" ?

what should trigger sending of UDP data ?

measured time between received messages

or change in data which you call "other numbers" ?

the received messages

in your example it means it took the data from the UDP 24.9 ms to pass from the udpreceive to farther proccessing?

do you need to pack or store

I need both to store it inside max using coll at regular intervals of 8ms and I also need to pack it before sending it out. the data received from UDP is at regular rate of 125Hz while the "other numbers" usually comes in larger intervals from within max.

if you want to insert a line into coll no matter what came in using 8ms interval,

then use pak or join with triggers -1.

same as to send UDP packets.

when you receive a packet, grab current list and send it away.

but be aware that pak and join keep whatever they received so far.

There is no way to "empty" them.

only to set to some values.

I got confused a little.

let assume two senario in which one: Is receiving only 6 data numbers from two different udp as this:

is this the correct way to join all data together and send it out as well store it into coll?

second senario:

receiving 6 data numbers from two different udp as well sending some other message in different interval such as this:

Could you please explain the timer system? what is this output value? the time it takes the data to arrive in Max?

I have been prepending each data then send/receive then route.

@WILL - but if you were needed to store them in the same line? then you must pak them together isn't it?

you are confusing me because every time I give you working answer

you change the question

and new answer is NO !

you should not send to UDP like that.

your first example can be done more simply prepend into coll

no nee to join anything

I only do like this on occasion when I don't want all to trigger because other bangs cause problems

it should be more efficient if all streams are not always changing

depending on where you com from and where you go

maybe want join

looks like you have 2 obviously different situations

1 store in coll

2 send somewhere

It depends on situations

you can send then put directly into coll at the redcieving end

you should not send to UDP like that.

OK I will follow this method.

Regarding my question of:

How can I measure the time elapsed between receiving the data over UDP in Max, packing it together with other numbers inside Max, and then sending it out again via UDP? Is there a way I could measure that?

Is the timer object measure that? could you explain it please? what is this value outputted of the timer? is it the time elapsed since data arrived in Max to when it was sent out?

edit: I also see you pak the timer value alongside the data joined together. why is that? I also see that this timer output is the one the bang the grab object that will pass the data to the udpsend object. Could you please explain that?
