/* UL call demonstrated: ulCIn() Purpose: Reads a counter input channel Demonstration: Displays the event counter input data on a user-specified channel Steps: 1. Call ulGetDaqDeviceInventory() to get the list of available DAQ devices 2. Call ulCreateDaqDevice() to to get a handle for the first DAQ device 3. Verify the DAQ device has a counter input subsystem 4. Call ulConnectDaqDevice() to establish a UL connection to the DAQ device 5. Call ulCClear() to clear the counter (set it to 0) 6. Call ulCIn() to read a value from a counter channel 7. Display the data for the specified counter 8. Call ulDisconnectDaqDevice() and ulReleaseDaqDevice() before exiting the process. */ #include #include #include "uldaq.h" #include "utility.h" #define MAX_DEV_COUNT 100 #define MAX_EVENT_COUNTERS 2 int main(void) { int descriptorIndex = 0; DaqDeviceDescriptor devDescriptors[MAX_DEV_COUNT]; DaqDeviceInterface interfaceType = ANY_IFC; DaqDeviceHandle daqDeviceHandle = 0; unsigned int numDevs = MAX_DEV_COUNT; int ctrNumber = 0; int numberOfCounters = 0; int eventCounters[MAX_EVENT_COUNTERS]; int hasCTR = 0; unsigned long long data = 0; UlError err = ERR_NO_ERROR; int i = 0; int __attribute__((unused)) ret; char c; // Get descriptors for all of the available DAQ devices err = ulGetDaqDeviceInventory(interfaceType, devDescriptors, &numDevs); if (err != ERR_NO_ERROR) goto end; // verify at least one DAQ device is detected if (numDevs == 0) { printf("No DAQ device is detected\n"); goto end; } printf("Found %d DAQ device(s)\n", numDevs); for (i = 0; i < (int) numDevs; i++) printf(" %s: (%s)\n", devDescriptors[i].productName, devDescriptors[i].uniqueId); // get a handle to the DAQ device associated with the first descriptor daqDeviceHandle = ulCreateDaqDevice(devDescriptors[descriptorIndex]); if (daqDeviceHandle == 0) { printf ("\nUnable to create a handle to the specified DAQ device\n"); goto end; } // verify the specified DAQ device supports counter input err = getDevInfoHasCtr(daqDeviceHandle, &hasCTR); if (!hasCTR) { printf("\nThe specified DAQ device does not support counter input\n"); goto end; } printf("\nConnecting to device %s - please wait ...\n", devDescriptors[descriptorIndex].devString); // establish a connection to the DAQ device err = ulConnectDaqDevice(daqDeviceHandle); if (err != ERR_NO_ERROR) goto end; getCtrInfoSupportedEventCounters(daqDeviceHandle, eventCounters, &numberOfCounters); if (numberOfCounters == 0) { printf("\nThe specified DAQ device does not support event counters\n"); goto end; } if (ctrNumber >= numberOfCounters) ctrNumber = numberOfCounters - 1; printf("\n%s ready\n", devDescriptors[descriptorIndex].devString); printf(" Function demonstrated: ulCIn()\n"); printf(" Counter: %d\n", ctrNumber); printf("\nHit ENTER to continue\n"); ret = scanf("%c", &c); ret = system("clear"); // clear the counter err = ulCClear(daqDeviceHandle, ctrNumber); if (err != ERR_NO_ERROR) goto end; while(err == ERR_NO_ERROR && !enter_press()) { // reset the cursor to the top of the display and // show the termination message resetCursor(); printf("Hit 'Enter' to terminate the process\n\n"); err = ulCIn(daqDeviceHandle, ctrNumber, &data); // display data for the counter channel if(err == ERR_NO_ERROR) { printf("Counter(%d) Data: %lld\n", ctrNumber, data); } usleep(100000); } // disconnect from the DAQ device ulDisconnectDaqDevice(daqDeviceHandle); end: // release the handle to the DAQ device ulReleaseDaqDevice(daqDeviceHandle); if(err != ERR_NO_ERROR) { char errMsg[ERR_MSG_LEN]; ulGetErrMsg(err, errMsg); printf("Error Code: %d \n", err); printf("Error Message: %s \n", errMsg); } return 0; }
