I'm trying to find a way of externally testing the frame rate of my
vis-sim application (outside of using pfStats). A possible method I'm
currently trying is to attach a CRO to the "Swap Ready" connector on
the target Onyx. The only problem is that I can't seem to get
anything out of it except noise! I've connected up the CRO to the
other BNC connectors on the Onyx (genlock out, composite video, sync
etc..) and got what I expected... so the CRO *is* working. Does
anybody know what I have to do to get information from this port? Or
is what I'm trying to do make very little sense?
I rang the local SGI support and they told me to use mswapbuffers()
which I'd already tried from within a GL application (as
mswapbuffers(NORMALDRAW)) - it didn't really make any difference.
Is Swap Ready even connected? What should I be expecting to get out
of it?
Much Thanx for any and all help.
