Signal Entity

group SignalEntity

SignalClass: Interface to digital pins configured to produce square wave signals. This class is designed to allow for square waves at various frequencies and duty cycles. Control is defined by specifying the wave period as (T3Time) and the active portion of the cycle as (T2Time). See the entity overview section of the reference for more detail regarding the timing.

void signal_setEnable(unsigned int *id, struct Result *result, const int index, const unsigned char enable)

Enable/Disable the signal output.

Parameters:
  • id – The id assigned by the create stem vi.

  • result – Object containing aErrNone on success. Non-zero error code on failure.

  • index – The index of the entity in question.

  • enable – True to enable, false to disable

Returns:

Returns common entity return values

void signal_getEnable(unsigned int *id, struct Result *result, const int index)

Get the Enable/Disable of the signal.

Parameters:
  • id – The id assigned by the create stem vi.

  • result – Object containing aErrNone and the requested value on success. Non-zero error code on failure.

  • index – The index of the entity in question.

Returns:

Returns common entity return values

void signal_setInvert(unsigned int *id, struct Result *result, const int index, const unsigned char invert)

Invert the signal output.

Normal mode is High on t0 then low at t2. Inverted mode is Low at t0 on period start and high at t2.

Parameters:
  • id – The id assigned by the create stem vi.

  • result – Object containing aErrNone on success. Non-zero error code on failure.

  • index – The index of the entity in question.

  • invert – to invert, false for normal mode.

Returns:

Returns common entity return values

void signal_getInvert(unsigned int *id, struct Result *result, const int index)

Get the invert status the signal output.

Normal mode is High on t0 then low at t2. Inverted mode is Low at t0 on period start and high at t2.

Parameters:
  • id – The id assigned by the create stem vi.

  • result – Object containing aErrNone and the requested value on success. Non-zero error code on failure.

  • index – The index of the entity in question.

Returns:

Returns common entity return values

void signal_setT3Time(unsigned int *id, struct Result *result, const int index, const unsigned int t3_nsec)

Set the signal period or T3 in nanoseconds.

Parameters:
  • id – The id assigned by the create stem vi.

  • result – Object containing aErrNone on success. Non-zero error code on failure.

  • index – The index of the entity in question.

  • t3_nsec – Integer not larger than unsigned 32 bit max value representing the wave period in nanoseconds.

Returns:

Returns common entity return values

void signal_getT3Time(unsigned int *id, struct Result *result, const int index)

Get the signal period or T3 in nanoseconds.

Parameters:
  • id – The id assigned by the create stem vi.

  • result – Object containing aErrNone and the requested value on success. Non-zero error code on failure.

  • index – The index of the entity in question.

Returns:

Returns common entity return values

Parameters:
  • id – The id assigned by the create stem vi.

  • result – Object containing aErrNone on success. Non-zero error code on failure.

  • index – The index of the entity in question.

  • t2_nsec – Integer not larger than unsigned 32 bit max value representing the wave active period in nanoseconds.

Returns:

Returns common entity return values

void signal_getT2Time(unsigned int *id, struct Result *result, const int index)

Get the signal active period or T2 in nanoseconds.

Parameters:
  • id – The id assigned by the create stem vi.

  • result – Object containing aErrNone and the requested value on success. Non-zero error code on failure.

  • index – The index of the entity in question.

Returns:

Returns common entity return values
