Functions that return multiple values return them in an associative array.
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn
(string $uid, IPConnection $ipcon)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Creates an object with the unique device ID $uid
:
<?php $industrial_dual_analog_in = new BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn('YOUR_DEVICE_UID', $ipcon); ?>
This object can then be used after the IP Connection is connected.
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
getVoltage
(int $channel)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Returns the voltage for the given channel.
If you want to get the voltage periodically, it is recommended to use the
CALLBACK_VOLTAGE
callback and set the period with
setVoltageCallbackPeriod()
.
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
setSampleRate
(int $rate)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
Sets the sample rate. The sample rate can be between 1 sample per second and 976 samples per second. Decreasing the sample rate will also decrease the noise on the data.
The following constants are available for this function:
For $rate:
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
getSampleRate
()¶Returns: |
|
---|
Returns the sample rate as set by setSampleRate()
.

For $rate:
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
setCalibration
(array $offset, array $gain)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
Sets offset and gain of MCP3911 internal calibration registers.
See MCP3911 datasheet 7.7 and 7.8. The Industrial Dual Analog In Bricklet is already factory calibrated by Tinkerforge. It should not be necessary for you to use this function
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
getCalibration
()¶Return Array: |
|
---|
Returns the calibration as set by setCalibration()
.
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
getADCValues
()¶Returns: |

---|
Returns the ADC values as given by the MCP3911 IC. This function
is needed for proper calibration, see setCalibration()
.
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
getIdentity
()¶Return Array: |
|
---|
Returns the UID, the UID where the Bricklet is connected to, the position, the hardware and firmware version as well as the device identifier.
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.
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
registerCallback
(int $callback_id, callable $callback, mixed $user_data=NULL)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
Registers the given $function
with the given $callback_id
. The optional
$user_data
will be passed as the last parameter to the function.
The available callback IDs with corresponding function signatures are listed below.
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
setVoltageCallbackPeriod
(int $channel, int $period)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
Sets the period with which the CALLBACK_VOLTAGE
callback is triggered
periodically for the given channel. A value of 0 turns the callback off.
The CALLBACK_VOLTAGE
callback is only triggered if the voltage has changed since the
last triggering.
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
getVoltageCallbackPeriod
(int $channel)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Returns the period as set by setVoltageCallbackPeriod()
.
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
setVoltageCallbackThreshold
(int $channel, string $option, int $min, int $max)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
Sets the thresholds for the CALLBACK_VOLTAGE_REACHED
callback for the given
channel.
The following options are possible:
Option | Description |
---|---|
'x' | Callback is turned off |
'o' | Callback is triggered when the voltage is outside the min and max values |
'i' | Callback is triggered when the voltage is inside the min and max values |
'<' | Callback is triggered when the voltage is smaller than the min value (max is ignored) |
'>' | Callback is triggered when the voltage is greater than the min value (max is ignored) |
The following constants are available for this function:
For $option:
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
getVoltageCallbackThreshold
(int $channel)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Return Array: |
|
Returns the threshold as set by setVoltageCallbackThreshold()
.
The following constants are available for this function:
For $option:
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
setDebouncePeriod
(int $debounce)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
Sets the period with which the threshold callback
is triggered, if the threshold
keeps being reached.
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
getDebouncePeriod
()¶Returns: |
|
---|
Returns the debounce period as set by setDebouncePeriod()
.
Callbacks can be registered to receive
time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done
with the registerCallback()
function of
the device object. The first parameter is the callback ID and the second
parameter the callback function:
<?php
function myCallback($param)
{
echo $param . "\n";
}
$industrial_dual_analog_in->registerCallback(BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::CALLBACK_EXAMPLE, 'myCallback');
?>
The available constants with corresponding function signatures are described below.
Note
Using callbacks for recurring events is always preferred compared to using getters. It will use less USB bandwidth and the latency will be a lot better, since there is no round trip time.
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
CALLBACK_VOLTAGE
¶<?php void callback(int $channel, int $voltage [, mixed $user_data]) ?>
Callback Parameters: |
|
---|
This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by
setVoltageCallbackPeriod()
. The parameter is the voltage of the
channel.
The CALLBACK_VOLTAGE
callback is only triggered if the voltage has changed since the
last triggering.
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
CALLBACK_VOLTAGE_REACHED
¶<?php void callback(int $channel, int $voltage [, mixed $user_data]) ?>
Callback Parameters: |
|
---|
This callback 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 callback is triggered periodically
with the period as set by setDebouncePeriod()
.
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.
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
getAPIVersion
()¶Return Array: |
|
---|
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.
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
getResponseExpected
(int $function_id)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
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:
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
setResponseExpected
(int $function_id, bool $response_expected)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
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:
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
setResponseExpectedAll
(bool $response_expected)¶Parameters: |
|
---|
Changes the response expected flag for all setter and callback configuration functions of this device at once.
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
DEVICE_IDENTIFIER
¶This constant is used to identify a Industrial Dual Analog In Bricklet.
The getIdentity()
function and the
IPConnection::CALLBACK_ENUMERATE
callback of the IP Connection have a deviceIdentifier
parameter to specify
the Brick's or Bricklet's type.
BrickletIndustrialDualAnalogIn::
DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME
¶This constant represents the human readable name of a Industrial Dual Analog In Bricklet.
