Array variable in extended memory - IDL [message #3336] Sun, 11 December 1994 18:49

I am trying to integrate the Data Translation DT2871 frame grabber into IDL.
The problem is that the frame grabber is memory mapped and leaves the digital
image in extended memory in the form of three (RGB) 256k arrays beginning at
$A00000. Is there any way that I can define an IDL variable that can either
directly access this memory space or easily copy it to a normal IDL variable.
It would be really great to be able to manipulate this memory space directly.
Any ideas please?

PS - can this be done in PV-Wave more easily? (I could be persuaded to switch!)
Thanks
