Basic Functions¶

Class BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2(ByVal uid As String, ByVal ipcon As IPConnection)¶

Creates an object with the unique device ID uid:

Dim industrialDualAnalogInV2 As New BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", ipcon)

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

Function BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.GetVoltage(ByVal channel As Byte) As Integer¶

Parameters:	channel – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 1]
Returns:	voltage – Type: Integer, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [-35000 to 35000]

Returns the voltage for the given channel.

If you want to get the value periodically, it is recommended to use the VoltageCallback callback. You can set the callback configuration with SetVoltageCallbackConfiguration().

Sub BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.SetChannelLEDConfig(ByVal channel As Byte, ByVal config As Byte)¶

Parameters:	channel – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 1] config – Type: Byte, Range: See constants, Default: 3

Each channel has a corresponding LED. You can turn the LED off, on or show a heartbeat. You can also set the LED to "Channel 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 measured value.

You can configure the channel status behavior with SetChannelLEDStatusConfig().

By default all channel LEDs are configured as "Channel Status".

The following constants are available for this function:

For config:

• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_CHANNEL_STATUS = 3

Function BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.GetChannelLEDConfig(ByVal channel As Byte) As Byte¶

Parameters:	channel – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 1]
Returns:	config – Type: Byte, Range: See constants, Default: 3

Returns the channel LED configuration as set by SetChannelLEDConfig()

The following constants are available for this function:

For config:

• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_OFF = 0
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_ON = 1
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_HEARTBEAT = 2
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.CHANNEL_LED_CONFIG_SHOW_CHANNEL_STATUS = 3

Sub BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.SetChannelLEDStatusConfig(ByVal channel As Byte, ByVal min As Integer, ByVal max As Integer, ByVal config As Byte)¶

Parameters:	channel – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 1] min – Type: Integer, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1], Default: 0 max – Type: Integer, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1], Default: 10000 config – Type: Byte, Range: See constants, Default: 1

Sets the channel LED status config. This config is used if the channel LED is configured as "Channel Status", see SetChannelLEDConfig().

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 above which the LED should turn on and set the "max" parameter to 0. Example: If you set a positive threshold of 10V, the LED will turn on as soon as the voltage exceeds 10V and turn off again if it goes below 10V. For a negative threshold set the "max" parameter to the threshold value in mV below which the LED should turn on and set the "min" parameter to 0. Example: If you set a negative threshold of 10V, the LED will turn on as soon as the voltage goes below 10V and the LED will turn off when the voltage exceeds 10V.

In intensity mode you can define a range in mV that is used to scale the brightness of the LED. Example with min=4V, max=20V: The LED is off at 4V, on at 20V and the brightness is linearly scaled between the values 4V and 20V. 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:

For config:

• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.CHANNEL_LED_STATUS_CONFIG_THRESHOLD = 0
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.CHANNEL_LED_STATUS_CONFIG_INTENSITY = 1

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.

Sub BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.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!

Sub BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.GetIdentity(ByRef uid As String, ByRef connectedUid As String, ByRef position As Char, ByRef hardwareVersion() As Byte, ByRef firmwareVersion() As Byte, ByRef deviceIdentifier As Integer)¶

Output Parameters:

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.

Callback Configuration Functions¶

Sub BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.SetVoltageCallbackConfiguration(ByVal channel As Byte, ByVal period As Long, ByVal valueHasToChange As Boolean, ByVal option As Char, ByVal min As Integer, ByVal max As Integer)¶

Parameters:	channel – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 1] period – Type: Long, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 valueHasToChange – Type: Boolean, Default: false option – Type: Char, Range: See constants, Default: "x"C min – Type: Integer, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1], Default: 0 max – Type: Integer, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [-231 to 231 - 1], Default: 0

The period is the period with which the VoltageCallback callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

If the value has to change-parameter is set to true, the callback is only triggered after the value has changed. If the value didn't change within the period, the callback is triggered immediately on change.

If it is set to false, the callback is continuously triggered with the period, independent of the value.

It is furthermore possible to constrain the callback with thresholds.

The option-parameter together with min/max sets a threshold for the VoltageCallback callback.

The following options are possible:

Option	Description
'x'	Threshold is turned off
'o'	Threshold is triggered when the value is outside the min and max values
'i'	Threshold is triggered when the value is inside or equal to the min and max values
'<'	Threshold is triggered when the value is smaller than the min value (max is ignored)
'>'	Threshold is triggered when the value is greater than the min value (max is ignored)

If the option is set to 'x' (threshold turned off) the callback is triggered with the fixed period.

The following constants are available for this function:

For option:

• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_OFF = "x"C
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_OUTSIDE = "o"C
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.THRESHOLD_OPTION_INSIDE = "i"C

Parameters:	period – Type: Long, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 valueHasToChange – Type: Boolean, Default: false

The period is the period with which the AllVoltagesCallback callback is triggered periodically. A value of 0 turns the callback off.

If the value has to change-parameter is set to true, the callback is only triggered after at least one of the values has changed. If the values didn't change within the period, the callback is triggered immediately on change.

If it is set to false, the callback is continuously triggered with the period, independent of the value.

New in version 2.0.6 (Plugin).

Sub BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.GetAllVoltagesCallbackConfiguration(ByRef period As Long, ByRef valueHasToChange As Boolean)¶

Output Parameters:	period – Type: Long, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 0 valueHasToChange – Type: Boolean, Default: false

Returns the callback configuration as set by SetAllVoltagesCallbackConfiguration().

New in version 2.0.6 (Plugin).

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done by assigning a procedure to an callback property of the device object:

Sub MyCallback(ByVal sender As BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2, ByVal value As Short)
    Console.WriteLine("Value: {0}", value)
End Sub

AddHandler industrialDualAnalogInV2.ExampleCallback, AddressOf MyCallback

The available callback property and their type of parameters are described below.

Event BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.VoltageCallback(ByVal sender As BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2, ByVal channel As Byte, ByVal voltage As Integer)¶

Callback Parameters:	sender – Type: BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2 channel – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 1] voltage – Type: Integer, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [-35000 to 35000]

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by SetVoltageCallbackConfiguration().

The parameter is the same as GetVoltage().

Callback Parameters:	sender – Type: BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2 voltages – Type: Integer Array, Length: 2, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [-35000 to 35000]

This callback is triggered periodically according to the configuration set by SetAllVoltagesCallbackConfiguration().

The parameters are the same as GetAllVoltages().

New in version 2.0.6 (Plugin).

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 BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.GetAPIVersion() As Byte()¶

Output Parameters:	apiVersion – Type: Byte Array, Length: 3 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 BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.GetResponseExpected(ByVal functionId As Byte) As 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:

• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.FUNCTION_SET_SAMPLE_RATE = 5

Sub BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.SetResponseExpected(ByVal functionId As Byte, ByVal responseExpected As Boolean)¶

Parameters:	functionId – Type: Byte, Range: See constants responseExpected – Type: Boolean

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 functionId:

• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_CONFIGURATION = 2
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.FUNCTION_SET_SAMPLE_RATE = 5

Internal Functions¶

Internal functions are used for maintenance tasks such as flashing a new firmware of changing the UID of a Bricklet. These task should be performed using Brick Viewer instead of using the internal functions directly.

Function BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.SetBootloaderMode(ByVal mode As Byte) As Byte¶

Parameters:	mode – Type: Byte, Range: See constants
Returns:	status – Type: Byte, Range: See constants

Sets the bootloader mode and returns the status after the requested mode change was instigated.

You can change from bootloader mode to firmware mode and vice versa. A change from bootloader mode to firmware mode will only take place if the entry function, device identifier and CRC are present and correct.

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

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

For status:

• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_OK = 0
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_INVALID_MODE = 1
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_NO_CHANGE = 2
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_ENTRY_FUNCTION_NOT_PRESENT = 3
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER_INCORRECT = 4
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.BOOTLOADER_STATUS_CRC_MISMATCH = 5

Function BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.GetBootloaderMode() As Byte¶

Returns:	mode – Type: Byte, Range: See constants

Returns the current bootloader mode, see SetBootloaderMode().

The following constants are available for this function:

For mode:

• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER = 0
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE = 1
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_BOOTLOADER_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 2
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_REBOOT = 3
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.BOOTLOADER_MODE_FIRMWARE_WAIT_FOR_ERASE_AND_REBOOT = 4

Sub BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.SetWriteFirmwarePointer(ByVal pointer As Long)¶

Parameters:	pointer – Type: Long, Unit: 1 B, Range: [0 to 232 - 1]

Sets the firmware pointer for WriteFirmware(). The pointer has to be increased by chunks of size 64. The data is written to flash every 4 chunks (which equals to one page of size 256).

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

Function BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.WriteFirmware(ByVal data() As Byte) As Byte¶

Parameters:	data – Type: Byte Array, Length: 64, Range: [0 to 255]
Returns:	status – Type: Byte, Range: [0 to 255]

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.

Sub BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.WriteUID(ByVal uid As Long)¶

Parameters:	uid – Type: Long, 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 BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.ReadUID() As Long¶

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

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

Constants¶

Const BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

This constant is used to identify a Industrial Dual Analog In Bricklet 2.0.

The GetIdentity() function and the IPConnection.EnumerateCallback callback of the IP Connection have a deviceIdentifier parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.

Const BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogInV2.DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶

This constant represents the human readable name of a Industrial Dual Analog In Bricklet 2.0.
