hil_read_digital
Reads from digital inputs immediately.
Description
The hil_read_digital function reads from the specified digital input channels immediately. The function does not return until the data has been read.
Many cards allow the digital I/O lines to be programmed as inputs or outputs. The digital I/O lines are configured as inputs or outputs using the hil_set_digital_directions function. All the channels which will be used as digital inputs must be configured as inputs using this function. Failure to configure the digital I/O may result in the hil_read_digital function failing to read those inputs.
Prototype
t_error hil_read_digital(t_card card, const t_uint32 digital_channels[], t_uint32 num_channels, t_boolean buffer[]);
Parameters
t_card card
A handle to the board, as returned by hil_open
const t_uint32 [] digital_channels
An array containing the channel numbers of the digital inputs to be read.
Select a board type from the list for board-specific details: .
t_uint32 num_channels
The number of channels specified in the digital_channels array.
t_boolean [] buffer
An array for receiving the binary values read from the digital inputs. The array must contain num_channels elements. Each element in the returned buffer array will correspond to the same element in the digital_channels array.
Return value
The return value is 0 if the digital inputs are read successfully. Otherwise a
negative error code is returned. Error codes are
defined in quanser_errors.h
. A suitable error message
may be retrieved using
msg_get_error_message.
Error codes
QERR_HIL_READ_DIGITAL_NOT_SUPPORTED
This function is not supported by the board-specific HIL driver for this board type.
QERR_INVALID_CARD_HANDLE
An invalid card handle was passed as an argument. Once a card has been closed using hil_close the card handle is invalid.
QERR_TOO_MANY_DIGITAL_INPUT_CHANNELS
Too many digital input channels were specified.
QERR_INVALID_DIGITAL_INPUT_CHANNEL
One of the digital input channels that was specified is not a valid channel number. Channel numbers range from 0 to one less than the number of channels.
QERR_DRIVER_INCOMPATIBLE_WITH_BOARD_DLL
The board-specific HIL driver passed an invalid parameter to the operating system specific kernel-level driver for the board. The board-specific HIL driver is likely not compatible with the operating system specific kernel-level driver for the board. Make sure both are up-to-date and compatible versions.
QERR_INTERNAL_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL
The board-specific HIL driver used an internal buffer that was too small for the operating system specific kernel-level driver for the board. The board-specific HIL driver is likely not compatible with the operating system specific kernel-level driver for the board. Make sure both are up-to-date and compatible versions.
QERR_OUT_OF_REQUIRED_SYSTEM_RESOURCES
There are not enough system resources to perform the requested operation. Try rebooting, requesting fewer samples, or adding more memory to your machine.
