hil_read_other_write_other_buffer
Reads the specified number of samples from the other input channels and writes the specified number of samples to the other output channels at the indicated sampling rate.
Description
The hil_read_other_write_other_buffer function reads the specified number of samples from the other input channels and writes to the specified other output channels at the given sampling rate in a single function call. Each sampling instant, the write operation occurs immediately following the read operation. Since the read-write operation occurs at the lowest level the read and write occur virtually concurrently. The function does not return until all the data has been read and written. This function is particularly useful for system identification since the read and write operations are synchronized. In particular, the value read in one sampling instant is the result of the write operation in the previous sampling instant. See the Buffered I/O overview for more details.
Prototype
t_error hil_read_other_write_other_buffer(t_card card, t_clock clock, t_double frequency, t_uint32 num_samples, const t_uint32 other_input_channels[], t_uint32 num_other_input_channels, const t_uint32 other_output_channels[], t_uint32 num_other_output_channels, t_double other_input_buffer[], const t_double other_output_buffer[]);
Parameters
t_card card
A handle to the board, as returned by hil_open
t_clock clock
The clock used to time the operation. Note that some clocks allow faster sampling rates than others. See Clocks for more information on clocks.
Select a board type from the list for board-specific details: .
t_double frequency
The frequency in Hertz at which to read from the other input channels and write to the other output channels. For example, if frequency is set to 1000, then the hil_read_other_write_other_buffer function will read all the input channels and write all the output channels every millisecond.
t_uint32 num_samples
The number of samples to process. Each "sample" consists of all the other input channels and all the other output channel specified. For example, if frequency is set to 1000 and num_samples is set to 5000, then the hil_read_other_write_other_buffer function will return after 5 seconds, having read 5000 samples and written 5000 samples. If 3 input channels have been selected, then the input buffer will contain 15,000 elements. If 2 output channels have been selected, then the output buffer must contain 10,000 elements.
const t_uint32 [] other_input_channels
An array containing the channel numbers of the other inputs to be read.
Select a board type from the list for board-specific details: .
t_uint32 num_other_input_channels
The number of channels specified in the other_input_channels array.
const t_uint32 [] other_output_channels
An array containing the channel numbers of the other outputs to which to write.
Select a board type from the list for board-specific details: .
t_uint32 num_other_output_channels
The number of channels specified in the other_output_channels array.
t_double [] other_input_buffer
An array for receiving the values read from the other inputs. The array must contain num_other_input_channels * num_samples elements. The array is organized as a linear array of samples, with each sample consisting of a group of channels. For example, if other input channels 0, 1 and 3 are being read, than the data appears in the array as follows, where the numbers correspond to channel numbers:
0 |
1 |
3 |
0 |
1 |
3 |
... |
This ordering is equivalent to defining the buffer as:
t_double buffer[num_samples][num_channels];
If the buffer is defined this way then pass the buffer as the buffer argument using the syntax: &buffer[0][0]
.
const t_double [] other_output_buffer
An array containing the values to write to the other outputs. The array must contain num_other_output_channels * num_samples elements. The array must be organized as a linear array of samples, with each sample consisting of a group of channels. Refer to the other_input_buffer parameter for an example.
Return value
The return value is the number of samples successfully read and written.
Otherwise a negative error code is returned.
Error codes are defined in
quanser_errors.h

suitable error message may be retrieved using
msg_get_error_message.
Error codes
QERR_HIL_READ_OTHER_WRITE_OTHER_BUFFER_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_OTHER_INPUT_CHANNELS
Too many other input channels were specified.
QERR_INVALID_OTHER_INPUT_CHANNEL
One of the other 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_TOO_MANY_OTHER_OUTPUT_CHANNELS
Too many other output channels were specified.
QERR_INVALID_OTHER_OUTPUT_CHANNEL
One of the other output 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.
QERR_OUT_OF_MEMORY
There is not enough memory to perform the operation.
