      "HAL_ResetCounter"

    • getCounter

      public static int getCounter​(int counterHandle)
      Reads the current counter value.

      Reads the value at this instant. It may still be running, so it reflects the current value. Next time it is read, it might have a different value.

      Parameters:
      counterHandle - the counter handle
      Returns:
      the current counter value
      See Also:
      "HAL_GetCounter"

    • getCounterPeriod

      public static double getCounterPeriod​(int counterHandle)
      Gets the Period of the most recent count.

      Returns the time interval of the most recent count. This can be used for velocity calculations to determine shaft speed.

      Parameters:
      counterHandle - the counter handle
      Returns:
      the period of the last two pulses in units of seconds
      See Also:
      "HAL_GetCounterPeriod"

    • setCounterMaxPeriod

      public static void setCounterMaxPeriod​(int counterHandle, double maxPeriod)
      Sets the maximum period where the device is still considered "moving".

      Sets the maximum period where the device is considered moving. This value is used to determine the "stopped" state of the counter using the HAL_GetCounterStopped method.

      Parameters:
      counterHandle - the counter handle
      maxPeriod - the maximum period where the counted device is considered moving in seconds
      See Also:
      "HAL_SetCounterMaxPeriod"

    • setCounterUpdateWhenEmpty

      public static void setCounterUpdateWhenEmpty​(int counterHandle, boolean enabled)
      Selects whether you want to continue updating the event timer output when there are no samples captured.

      The output of the event timer has a buffer of periods that are averaged and posted to a register on the FPGA. When the timer detects that the event source has stopped (based on the MaxPeriod) the buffer of samples to be averaged is emptied.

      If you enable the update when empty, you will be notified of the stopped source and the event time will report 0 samples.

      If you disable update when empty, the most recent average will remain on the output until a new sample is acquired.

      You will never see 0 samples output (except when there have been no events since an FPGA reset) and you will likely not see the stopped bit become true (since it is updated at the end of an average and there are no samples to average).

      Parameters:
      counterHandle - the counter handle
      enabled - true to enable counter updating with no samples
      See Also:
      "HAL_SetCounterUpdateWhenEmpty"

    • getCounterStopped

      public static boolean getCounterStopped​(int counterHandle)
      Determines if the clock is stopped.

      Determine if the clocked input is stopped based on the MaxPeriod value set using the SetMaxPeriod method. If the clock exceeds the MaxPeriod, then the device (and counter) are assumed to be stopped and it returns true.

      Parameters:
      counterHandle - the counter handle
      Returns:
      true if the most recent counter period exceeds the MaxPeriod value set by SetMaxPeriod
      See Also:
      "HAL_GetCounterStopped"

    • getCounterDirection

      public static boolean getCounterDirection​(int counterHandle)
      Gets the last direction the counter value changed.
      Parameters:
      counterHandle - the counter handle
      Returns:
      the last direction the counter value changed
      See Also:
      "HAL_GetCounterDirection"

    • setCounterReverseDirection

      public static void setCounterReverseDirection​(int counterHandle, boolean reverseDirection)
      Sets the Counter to return reversed sensing on the direction.

      This allows counters to change the direction they are counting in the case of 1X and 2X quadrature encoding only. Any other counter mode isn't supported.

      Parameters:
      counterHandle - the counter handle
      reverseDirection - true if the value counted should be negated.
      See Also:
      "HAL_SetCounterReverseDirection"
