Command Structure¶

The common options of the call and dispatch commands are documented here. The specific command structure is shown below.

tinkerforge call industrial-dual-analog-in-bricklet [<option>..] <uid> <function> [<argument>..]¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: String <function> – Type: String

The call command is used to call a function of the Industrial Dual Analog In Bricklet. It can take several options:

• --help shows help for the specific call command and exits
• --list-functions shows a list of known functions of the Industrial Dual Analog In Bricklet and exits

tinkerforge dispatch industrial-dual-analog-in-bricklet [<option>..] <uid> <callback>¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: String <callback> – Type: String

The dispatch command is used to dispatch a callback of the Industrial Dual Analog In Bricklet. It can take several options:

• --help shows help for the specific dispatch command and exits
• --list-callbacks shows a list of known callbacks of the Industrial Dual Analog In Bricklet and exits

tinkerforge call industrial-dual-analog-in-bricklet <uid> <function> [<option>..] [<argument>..]¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: String <function> – Type: String

The <function> to be called can take different options depending of its kind. All functions can take the following options:

• --help shows help for the specific function and exits

Getter functions can take the following options:

• --execute <command> shell command line to execute for each incoming response (see section about output formatting for details)

Setter functions can take the following options:

• --expect-response requests response and waits for it

The --expect-response option for setter functions allows to detect timeouts and other error conditions calls of setters as well. The device will then send a response for this purpose. If this option is not given for a setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.

tinkerforge dispatch industrial-dual-analog-in-bricklet <uid> <callback> [<option>..]¶

Parameters:	<uid> – Type: String <callback> – Type: String

The <callback> to be dispatched can take several options:

• --help shows help for the specific callback and exits
• --execute <command> shell command line to execute for each incoming response (see section about output formatting for details)

Basic Functions¶

tinkerforge call industrial-dual-analog-in-bricklet <uid> get-voltage <channel>¶

Callbacks¶

Callbacks can be used to receive time critical or recurring data from the device:

tinkerforge dispatch industrial-dual-analog-in-bricklet <uid> example

The available callbacks are described below.

tinkerforge dispatch industrial-dual-analog-in-bricklet <uid> voltage¶

Output:	channel – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 1] voltage – Type: Int, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [-35000 to 35000]

This callback is triggered periodically with the period that is set by set-voltage-callback-period. The parameter is the voltage of the channel.

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

tinkerforge dispatch industrial-dual-analog-in-bricklet <uid> voltage-reached¶

Output:	channel – Type: Int, Range: [0 to 1] voltage – Type: Int, Unit: 1 mV, Range: [-35000 to 35000]

This callback is triggered when the threshold as set by set-voltage-callback-threshold 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 set-debounce-period.
