void BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.setDebouncePeriod(long debounce)¶

Parameters:	debounce – Type: long, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 100

Sets the period with which the threshold listener

• VoltageReachedListener

is triggered, if the threshold

• setVoltageCallbackThreshold()

keeps being reached.

long BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.getDebouncePeriod()¶

Returns:	debounce – Type: long, Unit: 1 ms, Range: [0 to 232 - 1], Default: 100

Returns the debounce period as set by setDebouncePeriod().

Listeners¶

Listeners can be registered to receive time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done with add*Listener() functions of the device object.

The parameter is a listener class object, for example:

device.addExampleListener(new BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.ExampleListener() {
    public void property(int value) {
        System.out.println("Value: " + value);
    }
});

The available listener classes with inherent methods to be overwritten are described below. It is possible to add several listeners and to remove them with the corresponding remove*Listener() function.

class BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.VoltageListener()¶

This listener can be added with the addVoltageListener() function. An added listener can be removed with the removeVoltageListener() function.

void voltage(short channel, int voltage)

Parameters:	channel – Type: short, Range: [0 to 1] voltage – Type: int, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [-35000 to 35000]

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

The VoltageListener listener is only triggered if the voltage has changed since the last triggering.

class BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.VoltageReachedListener()¶

This listener can be added with the addVoltageReachedListener() function. An added listener can be removed with the removeVoltageReachedListener() function.

void voltageReached(short channel, int voltage)

Parameters:	channel – Type: short, Range: [0 to 1] voltage – Type: int, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [-35000 to 35000]

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

If the threshold keeps being reached, the listener 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.

short[] BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.getAPIVersion()¶

Return Object:	apiVersion – Type: short[], Length: 3 0: major – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: short, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: short, 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.

boolean BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.getResponseExpected(byte functionId)¶

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 listener 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:

• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 2
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 4
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 6
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_SAMPLE_RATE = 8
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_CALIBRATION = 10

void BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.setResponseExpected(byte functionId, boolean responseExpected)¶

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 listener 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:

• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_PERIOD = 2
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_VOLTAGE_CALLBACK_THRESHOLD = 4
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_DEBOUNCE_PERIOD = 6
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_SAMPLE_RATE = 8
• BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.FUNCTION_SET_CALIBRATION = 10

void BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.setResponseExpectedAll(boolean responseExpected)¶

Parameters:	responseExpected – Type: boolean

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

Constants¶

int BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.DEVICE_IDENTIFIER¶

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

The getIdentity() function and the IPConnection.EnumerateListener listener of the IP Connection have a deviceIdentifier parameter to specify the Brick's or Bricklet's type.

String BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn.DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME¶

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