Function Documentation

long LCAIO_GetInChanHandle ( unsigned char  Index,
dev_hdl pInChanHdl 
)

Get analog input channel handle by its index.

Parameters
[in]IndexIndex into list of available analog input channels
[out]pInChanHdlHandle to input channel or 0 if the given index is out of range
Return values
-ERR_PARAM_RANGEIf the given device index is out of range
ERR_NOERRindicates success
Examples:
capi_pressure_control_test.cpp.
long LCAIO_GetNoOfInputChannels ( )

Query number of available analog input channels.

Return values
>=0 Number of available analog input channels
<0 Error code
long LCAIO_GetNoOfOutputChannels ( )

Query number of available analog output channels.

Return values
>=0 Number of available analog output channels
<0 Error code
long LCAIO_GetOutChanHandle ( unsigned char  Index,
dev_hdl pOutChanHdl 
)

Get analog out channel handle by its index.

Parameters
[in]IndexIndex into list of available analog out channels
[out]pOutChanHdlHandle to output channel or 0 if the given index is out of range
Return values
-ERR_PARAM_RANGEIf the given device index is out of range
ERR_NOERRindicates success
long LCAIO_LookupInChanByName ( const char *  pChannelName,
dev_hdl pInChanHdl 
)

Lookup for an analog input channel by its name.

Parameters
[in]pChannelNameThe name to assign with this channel
[out]pInChanHdlHandle to input channel handle if the channel was sucessfully opened
Return values
-ERR_NODEVNo device with the given name found
ERR_NOERRindicates success
Examples:

long LCAIO_LookupOutChanByName ( const char *  pChannelName,
dev_hdl pOutChanHdl 
)

Lookup for an analog output channel by its name.

Parameters
[in]pChannelNameThe name to assign with this channel
[out]pOutChanHdlHandle to output channel handle if the channel was sucessfully opened
Return values
-ERR_NODEVNo device with the given name found
ERR_NOERRindicates success
Examples:
capi_dynamic_controller_test.cpp.
