Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CHILController()

isys::CHILController::CHILController

(

std::shared_ptr< ConnectionMgr >

connectionMgr

)

Instantiates object.

Parameters

connectionMgr

class which maintains connection to winIDEA. Connection must be established before this call. Python example: test_hil_read_write.py

Member Function Documentation

getChannels()

void isys::CHILController::getChannels

(

HILChannelVector &

channels

)

Deprecated:

does not support new hardware, currently has no replacement

Returns list of channels in the HIL.

Parameters

channels

vector to receive result

read()

std::string isys::CHILController::read	(	const std::string &	paths,
		DWORD	bufferSize = 4096,
		DWORD	dwFlags = 0,
		DWORD	dwGenParam = 0
	)

Reads data from HIL.

Consult your hardware manual for available parameters. For iSYSTEM's I/O module on IC5000 you get the list of available paths to parameters with HIL monitor in winIDEA:

• Open "Plugins | Options" dialog, then move "HIL Monitor" from "Available" to "Loaded", click OK
• Select "Plugins | HIL Monitor" to open the HIL Monitor window.

Parameters

paths	paths to parameters to read separated by '\n'. Example for iSYSTEM IO module: read("DIN.DIN0\\nDIN.DIN1");
bufferSize	allocated buffer to receive data. If it is to small, IllegalSizeException is thrown.
dwFlags	reserved, should be zero
dwGenParam	reserved, should be zero

Returns

string of values for each path, separated by '\n'

Python example: test_hil_read_write.py

write()

void isys::CHILController::write	(	const std::string &	values,
		DWORD	dwFlags = 0,
		DWORD	dwGenParam = 0
	)

Writes data to HIL.

Consult your hardware manual for available parameters. For iSYSTEM's I/O module on IC5000 you get the list of available paths to parameters with HIL monitor in winIDEA:

• Open "Plugins | Options" dialog, then move "HIL Monitor" from "Available" to "Loaded", click OK
• Select "Plugins | HIL Monitor" to open the HIL Monitor window.

Parameters

values	data to be written to HIL module given as path: value pairs separated by '\n'. Example for iSYSTEM IO module: write("DOUT.DOUT0: LOW");
dwFlags	reserved, should be zero
dwGenParam	reserved, should be zero

Python example: test_hil_read_write.py
