Basic Functions¶

new BrickletAnalogIn(uid, ipcon)¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: string ipcon – Type: IPConnection
Returns:	analogIn – Type: BrickletAnalogIn

Creates an object with the unique device ID uid:

var analogIn = new BrickletAnalogIn("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", ipcon);

This object can then be used after the IP Connection is connected.

BrickletAnalogIn.getVoltage([returnCallback][, errorCallback])¶

Callback Parameters:	voltage – Type: int, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [0 to 45000]
Returns:	undefined

Returns the voltage of the sensor. The resolution between 0 and 6V is about 2mV. Between 6 and 45V the resolution is about 10mV.

If you want to get the voltage periodically, it is recommended to use the CALLBACK_VOLTAGE callback and set the period with setVoltageCallbackPeriod().

BrickletAnalogIn.setRange(range[, returnCallback][, errorCallback])¶

Parameters:	range – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 0
Callback Parameters:	undefined
Returns:	undefined

Sets the measurement range. Possible ranges:

• 0: Automatically switched
• 1: 0V - 6.05V, ~1.48mV resolution
• 2: 0V - 10.32V, ~2.52mV resolution
• 3: 0V - 36.30V, ~8.86mV resolution
• 4: 0V - 45.00V, ~11.25mV resolution
• 5: 0V - 3.3V, ~0.81mV resolution, new in version 2.0.3 (Plugin)

The following constants are available for this function:

For range:

• BrickletAnalogIn.RANGE_AUTOMATIC = 0
• BrickletAnalogIn.RANGE_UP_TO_6V = 1
• BrickletAnalogIn.RANGE_UP_TO_10V = 2
• BrickletAnalogIn.RANGE_UP_TO_36V = 3
• BrickletAnalogIn.RANGE_UP_TO_45V = 4
• BrickletAnalogIn.RANGE_UP_TO_3V = 5

New in version 2.0.1 (Plugin).

BrickletAnalogIn.getRange([returnCallback][, errorCallback])¶

Callback Parameters:	range – Type: int, Range: See constants, Default: 0
Returns:	undefined

Returns the measurement range as set by setRange().

The following constants are available for this function:

For range:

• BrickletAnalogIn.RANGE_AUTOMATIC = 0
• BrickletAnalogIn.RANGE_UP_TO_6V = 1
• BrickletAnalogIn.RANGE_UP_TO_10V = 2
• BrickletAnalogIn.RANGE_UP_TO_36V = 3
• BrickletAnalogIn.RANGE_UP_TO_45V = 4
• BrickletAnalogIn.RANGE_UP_TO_3V = 5

New in version 2.0.1 (Plugin).

Advanced Functions¶

BrickletAnalogIn.getAnalogValue([returnCallback][, errorCallback])¶

Callback Parameters:	value – Type: int, Range: [0 to 212 - 1]
Returns:	undefined

Returns the value as read by a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter.

Note

The value returned by getVoltage() is averaged over several samples to yield less noise, while getAnalogValue() gives back raw unfiltered analog values. The only reason to use getAnalogValue() is, if you need the full resolution of the analog-to-digital converter.

If you want the analog value periodically, it is recommended to use the CALLBACK_ANALOG_VALUE callback and set the period with setAnalogValueCallbackPeriod().

BrickletAnalogIn.setAveraging(average[, returnCallback][, errorCallback])¶

Parameters:	average – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 50
Callback Parameters:	undefined
Returns:	undefined

Set the length of a averaging for the voltage value.

Setting the length to 0 will turn the averaging completely off. If the averaging is off, there is more noise on the data, but the data is without delay.

New in version 2.0.3 (Plugin).

BrickletAnalogIn.getAveraging([returnCallback][, errorCallback])¶

Callback Parameters:	average – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 50
Returns:	undefined

Returns the averaging configuration as set by setAveraging().

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with the on() function of the device object. The first parameter is the callback ID and the second parameter the callback function:

analogIn.on(BrickletAnalogIn.CALLBACK_EXAMPLE,
    function (param) {
        console.log(param);
    }
);

The available constants with inherent number and type of parameters are described below.

BrickletAnalogIn.CALLBACK_VOLTAGE¶

Callback Parameters:	voltage – Type: int, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [0 to 45000]

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by setVoltageCallbackPeriod(). The parameter is the voltage of the sensor.

The CALLBACK_VOLTAGE callback is only triggered if the voltage has changed since the last triggering.

BrickletAnalogIn.CALLBACK_ANALOG_VALUE¶

Callback Parameters:	value – Type: int, Range: [0 to 212 - 1]

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by setAnalogValueCallbackPeriod(). The parameter is the analog value of the sensor.

The CALLBACK_ANALOG_VALUE callback is only triggered if the voltage has changed since the last triggering.

BrickletAnalogIn.CALLBACK_VOLTAGE_REACHED¶

Callback Parameters:	voltage – Type: int, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [0 to 45000]

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by setVoltageCallbackThreshold() is reached. The parameter is the voltage of the sensor.

If the threshold keeps being reached, the callback is triggered periodically with the period as set by setDebouncePeriod().

BrickletAnalogIn.CALLBACK_ANALOG_VALUE_REACHED¶

Callback Parameters:	value – Type: int, Range: [0 to 212 - 1]

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by setAnalogValueCallbackThreshold() is reached. The parameter is the analog value of the sensor.

If the threshold keeps being reached, the callback is triggered periodically with the period as set by setDebouncePeriod().

Virtual Functions¶

Virtual functions don't communicate with the device itself, but operate only on the API bindings device object. They can be called without the corresponding IP Connection object being connected.

BrickletAnalogIn.getAPIVersion()¶

Returns:	apiVersion – Type: [int, ...], Length: 3 0: major – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]

Returns the version of the API definition implemented by this API bindings. This is neither the release version of this API bindings nor does it tell you anything about the represented Brick or Bricklet.

BrickletAnalogIn.getResponseExpected(functionId[, errorCallback])¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: int, Range: See constants
Returns:	responseExpected – Type: boolean

Returns the response expected flag for the function specified by the function ID parameter. It is true if the function is expected to send a response, false otherwise.

For getter functions this is enabled by default and cannot be disabled, because those functions will always send a response. For callback configuration functions it is enabled by default too, but can be disabled by setResponseExpected(). For setter functions it is disabled by default and can be enabled.

Enabling the response expected flag for a setter function allows to detect timeouts and other error conditions calls of this setter as well. The device will then send a response for this purpose. If this flag is disabled for a setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.

The following constants are available for this function:

For function_id:

• BrickletAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 3
• BrickletAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_ANALOG_VALUE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 5
• BrickletAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 7
• BrickletAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_ANALOG_VALUE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 9
• BrickletAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 11
• BrickletAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_RANGE = 17
• BrickletAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_AVERAGING = 19

BrickletAnalogIn.setResponseExpected(functionId, responseExpected[, errorCallback])¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: int, Range: See constants responseExpected – Type: boolean
Returns:	undefined

Changes the response expected flag of the function specified by the function ID parameter. This flag can only be changed for setter (default value: false) and callback configuration functions (default value: true). For getter functions it is always enabled.

Enabling the response expected flag for a setter function allows to detect timeouts and other error conditions calls of this setter as well. The device will then send a response for this purpose. If this flag is disabled for a setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.

The following constants are available for this function:

For function_id:

• BrickletAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 3
• BrickletAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_ANALOG_VALUE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 5
• BrickletAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 7
• BrickletAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_ANALOG_VALUE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 9

Returns:	undefined

Changes the response expected flag for all setter and callback configuration functions of this device at once.

Constants¶

BrickletAnalogIn.DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a Analog In Bricklet.

The getIdentity() function and the IPConnection.CALLBACK_ENUMERATE callback of the IP Connection have a device_identifier parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.

BrickletAnalogIn.DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶

This constant represents the human readable name of a Analog In Bricklet.
