quanser.hardware.monitor.stop :: QUARC MATLAB Functions

navigation bar

quanser.hardware.monitor.stop

Stops the specified monitor.

Syntax

err = monitor.stop

Description

Stops the specified monitor. Stopping a monitor does not delete it. Use the close function to free the resources associated with the monitor. A monitor that has been stopped, but not deleted, may be restarted using the start function

If no err output is provided then it throws an exception if an error occurs. In generated code it prints the error message. Use hil_get_error_message to get the message associated with an error code.

Parameters

monitor

The monitor instance returned by quanser.hardware.hil.monitor_create_interrupt_reader.

Outputs

err

A negative error code or zero on success.

Examples

monitor = board.monitor_create_interrupt_reader(0);
monitor.start;                         % Start the monitor
for i=1:10
    states = monitor.read_interrupt;   % Queries interrupt source 0. Does not return until the interrupt occurs.
    ...
end;
monitor.stop;  % Always good to call hil_monitor_stop even if monitor stops itself
monitor.close;
