Pepper Computer RS485, RS232 user manual Initialization, Read RAW Data

SMART I/O User’s Manual Chapter 5 Analog Modules

To compile the source, execute the following commands at the shell prompt:

> chd /<dev>/APPLIC/SMART > make all

To execute the example:	* load HW task
load /<dev>/BSP/SMART/SMADC/adc_task
load /<dev>/APPLIC/SMART/CMDS/demoadc	* load example
demoadc [slot]

Slot = 0,1 .. 10 specifies the port of the SM-PT100 module. (Default = 0)

Note that the procedure names are generic and are applicable to both the SM- PT100 and SM-THERM modules.

Initialization

To start the HW Task, the OS-9 module adc_task must be loaded, then the function SMADCInit must be called. To read data from a channel, the type of sensor attached to it must be known. The PEP header file BSP/SMART/ SMADC/DEFS/smadc.h contains a list of sensors that are supported. To set the sensor type, the function SMADCSetSensorType needs to be called.

Read RAW Data

To force the HW task to read RAW data from a channel, the function SMADCEnableRead must be called. As soon as the HW task has received data from this channel, a flag is set indicating a valid RAW value. Now the user’s application is able to read this value by using the function SMADCReadRaw.
