API¶

Since Delphi does not support multiple return values directly, we use the out keyword to return multiple values from a function.

All functions and procedures listed below are thread-safe.

Basic Functions¶

constructor TBrickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2.Create(const uid: string; ipcon: TIPConnection)¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: string ipcon – Type: TIPConnection
Returns:	industrialAnalogOutV2 – Type: TBrickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2

Creates an object with the unique device ID uid:

industrialAnalogOutV2 := TBrickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2.Create('YOUR_DEVICE_UID', ipcon);

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

procedure TBrickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2.SetEnabled(const enabled: boolean)¶

Parameters:	enabled – Type: boolean, Default: false

Enables/disables the output of voltage and current.

function TBrickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2.GetEnabled: boolean¶

Returns:	enabled – Type: boolean, Default: false

Returns true if output of voltage and current is enabled, false otherwise.

procedure TBrickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2.SetVoltage(const voltage: word)¶

Parameters:	voltage – Type: word, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [0 to 10000]

Sets the output voltage.

The output voltage and output current are linked. Changing the output voltage also changes the output current.

function TBrickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2.GetVoltage: word¶

Returns:	voltage – Type: word, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [0 to 10000]

Returns the voltage as set by SetVoltage.

procedure TBrickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2.SetCurrent(const current: word)¶

Parameters:	current – Type: word, Unit: 1 µA, Range: [0 to 24000]

Sets the output current.

The output current and output voltage are linked. Changing the output current also changes the output voltage.

function TBrickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2.GetCurrent: word¶

Returns:	current – Type: word, Unit: 1 µA, Range: [0 to 24000]

Returns the current as set by SetCurrent.

procedure TBrickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2.SetOutLEDConfig(const config: byte)¶

Parameters:	config – Type: byte, Range: See constants, Default: 3

You can turn the Out LED off, on or show a heartbeat. You can also set the LED to "Out Status". In this mode the LED can either be turned on with a pre-defined threshold or the intensity of the LED can change with the output value (voltage or current).

You can configure the channel status behavior with SetOutLEDStatusConfig.

The following constants are available for this function:

For config:

BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_ANALOG_OUT_V2_OUT_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_ANALOG_OUT_V2_OUT_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_ANALOG_OUT_V2_OUT_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_ANALOG_OUT_V2_OUT_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_OUT_STATUS = 3

function TBrickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2.GetOutLEDConfig: byte¶

Returns:	config – Type: byte, Range: See constants, Default: 3

Returns the Out LED configuration as set by SetOutLEDConfig

The following constants are available for this function:

For config:

BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_ANALOG_OUT_V2_OUT_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_ANALOG_OUT_V2_OUT_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_ANALOG_OUT_V2_OUT_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_ANALOG_OUT_V2_OUT_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_OUT_STATUS = 3

procedure TBrickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2.SetOutLEDStatusConfig(const min: word; const max: word; const config: byte)¶

Parameters:	min – Type: word, Range: [0 to 24000], Default: 0 max – Type: word, Range: [0 to 24000], Default: 10000 config – Type: byte, Range: See constants, Default: 1

Sets the Out LED status config. This config is used if the Out LED is configured as "Out Status", see SetOutLEDConfig.

For each channel you can choose between threshold and intensity mode.

In threshold mode you can define a positive or a negative threshold. For a positive threshold set the "min" parameter to the threshold value in mV or µA above which the LED should turn on and set the "max" parameter to 0. Example: If you set a positive threshold of 5V, the LED will turn on as soon as the output value exceeds 5V and turn off again if it goes below 5V. For a negative threshold set the "max" parameter to the threshold value in mV or µA below which the LED should turn on and set the "min" parameter to 0. Example: If you set a negative threshold of 5V, the LED will turn on as soon as the output value goes below 5V and the LED will turn off when the output value exceeds 5V.

In intensity mode you can define a range mV or µA that is used to scale the brightness of the LED. Example with min=2V, max=8V: The LED is off at 2V and below, on at 8V and above and the brightness is linearly scaled between the values 2V and 8V. If the min value is greater than the max value, the LED brightness is scaled the other way around.

The following constants are available for this function:

Returns:	temperature – Type: smallint, Unit: 1 °C, Range: [-2¹⁵ to 2¹⁵ - 1]

Returns the temperature as measured inside the microcontroller. The value returned is not the ambient temperature!

The temperature is only proportional to the real temperature and it has bad accuracy. Practically it is only useful as an indicator for temperature changes.

procedure TBrickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2.Reset¶

Calling this function will reset the Bricklet. All configurations will be lost.

After a reset you have to create new device objects, calling functions on the existing ones will result in undefined behavior!

The position can be 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g' or 'h' (Bricklet Port). A Bricklet connected to an Isolator Bricklet is always at position 'z'.

The device identifier numbers can be found here. There is also a constant for the device identifier of this Bricklet.

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.

function TBrickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2.GetAPIVersion: array [0..2] of byte¶

Output Parameters:	apiVersion – Type: array [0..2] of byte 0: major – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: byte, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: byte, 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.

function TBrickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2.GetResponseExpected(const functionId: byte): boolean¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: byte, 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 functionId:

BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_ANALOG_OUT_V2_FUNCTION_SET_ENABLED = 1
BRICKLET_INDUSTRIAL_ANALOG_OUT_V2_FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE = 3

Writes 64 Bytes of firmware at the position as written by SetWriteFirmwarePointer before. The firmware is written to flash every 4 chunks.

You can only write firmware in bootloader mode.

This function is used by Brick Viewer during flashing. It should not be necessary to call it in a normal user program.

procedure TBrickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2.WriteUID(const uid: longword)¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: longword, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1]

Writes a new UID into flash. If you want to set a new UID you have to decode the Base58 encoded UID string into an integer first.

We recommend that you use Brick Viewer to change the UID.

function TBrickletIndustrialAnalogOutV2.ReadUID: longword¶

Returns:	uid – Type: longword, Range: [0 to 2³² - 1]

Returns the current UID as an integer. Encode as Base58 to get the usual string version.

Constants¶
