◆ HAL_CheckAnalogInputChannel()

HAL_Bool HAL_CheckAnalogInputChannel ( int32_t  channel)

Checks that the analog output channel number is valid.

Verifies that the analog channel number is one of the legal channel numbers. Channel numbers are 0-based.

Parameters
[in]channelThe analog output channel number.
Returns
Analog channel is valid

Returns
Analog module is valid and present

◆ HAL_FreeAnalogInputPort()

void HAL_FreeAnalogInputPort ( HAL_AnalogInputHandle  analogPortHandle)

Frees an analog input port.

Parameters
[in,out]analogPortHandleHandle to the analog port.

◆ HAL_GetAnalogAverageBits()

int32_t HAL_GetAnalogAverageBits ( HAL_AnalogInputHandle  analogPortHandle,
int32_t *  status 
)

Gets the number of averaging bits.

This gets the number of averaging bits from the FPGA. The actual number of averaged samples is 2**bits. The averaging is done automatically in the FPGA.

Parameters
[in]analogPortHandleHandle to the analog port to use.
[out]statusthe error code, or 0 for success
Returns
Bits to average.

◆ HAL_GetAnalogAverageValue()

int32_t HAL_GetAnalogAverageValue ( HAL_AnalogInputHandle  analogPortHandle,
int32_t *  status 
)

Gets a sample from the output of the oversample and average engine for the channel.

The sample is 12-bit + the value configured in SetOversampleBits(). The value configured in SetAverageBits() will cause this value to be averaged 2**bits number of samples. This is not a sliding window. The sample will not change until 2**(OversampleBits + AverageBits) samples have been acquired from the module on this channel. Use GetAverageVoltage() to get the analog value in calibrated units.

Parameters
[in]analogPortHandleHandle to the analog port to use.
[out]statusthe error code, or 0 for success
Returns
A sample from the oversample and average engine for the channel.

◆ HAL_GetAnalogAverageVoltage()

double HAL_GetAnalogAverageVoltage ( HAL_AnalogInputHandle  analogPortHandle,
int32_t *  status 
)

Gets a scaled sample from the output of the oversample and average engine for the channel.

The value is scaled to units of Volts using the calibrated scaling data from GetLSBWeight() and GetOffset(). Using oversampling will cause this value to be higher resolution, but it will update more slowly. Using averaging will cause this value to be more stable, but it will update more slowly.

Parameters
[in]analogPortHandleHandle to the analog port to use.
[out]statusthe error code, or 0 for success
Returns
A scaled sample from the output of the oversample and average engine for the channel.

◆ HAL_GetAnalogLSBWeight()

int32_t *  status 
)

Gets the factory scaling least significant bit weight constant.

The least significant bit weight constant for the channel that was calibrated in manufacturing and stored in an eeprom in the module.

Volts = ((LSB_Weight * 1e-9) * raw) - (Offset * 1e-9)

Parameters
[in]analogPortHandleHandle to the analog port to use.
[out]statusthe error code, or 0 for success
Returns
Least significant bit weight.

◆ HAL_GetAnalogOffset()

int32_t HAL_GetAnalogOffset ( HAL_AnalogInputHandle  analogPortHandle,
int32_t *  status

Gets the factory scaling offset constant.

The offset constant for the channel that was calibrated in manufacturing and stored in an eeprom in the module.

Volts = ((LSB_Weight * 1e-9) * raw) - (Offset * 1e-9)

Parameters
[in]analogPortHandleHandle to the analog port to use.
[out]statusError status variable. 0 on success.
Returns
Offset constant.

◆ HAL_GetAnalogOversampleBits()

int32_t HAL_GetAnalogOversampleBits ( HAL_AnalogInputHandle  analogPortHandle,

[out]statusthe error code, or 0 for success
Returns
Bits to oversample.

◆ HAL_GetAnalogSampleRate()

double HAL_GetAnalogSampleRate ( int32_t *  status)

This assumes one entry in the scan list. This is a global setting for the Athena and effects all channels.

Parameters

Returns
Sample rate.

◆ HAL_GetAnalogValue()

int32_t HAL_GetAnalogValue ( HAL_AnalogInputHandle  analogPortHandle,
