Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DigitalInInterface ( const std::string &  name  )  [inline]

Construct a nameserved DigitalInInterface instance.

The object can then be retrieved using DigitalInInterface::nameserver .

Parameters:
name The name which will refer to this instance.

Definition at line 65 of file DigitalInInterface.hpp.


Member Function Documentation

virtual bool isOn ( unsigned int  bit = 0  )  const [pure virtual]

Inspect if a certain bit is on.

Parameters:
bit The bit to check, starting from zero.
Returns:
true if the bit is high (1), false otherwise.

Referenced by DigitalInput::isOn().

virtual bool isOff ( unsigned int  bit = 0  )  const [pure virtual]

Inspect if a certain bit is on.

Parameters:
bit The bit to check, starting from zero.
Returns:
true if the bit is low (0), false otherwise.

virtual bool readBit ( unsigned int  bit = 0  )  const [pure virtual]

Inspect a bit.

Parameters:
bit The bit to check, starting from zero.
Returns:
true if the bit is high (1), false otherwise.

virtual unsigned int readSequence ( unsigned int  start_bit,
unsigned int  stop_bit 
) const [pure virtual]

Inspect a sequence of bits.

Parameters:
start_bit The first bit to check.
stop_bit The last bit (inclusive) to check.
Returns:
a bit pattern denoting the bit status from start_bit to stop_bit where bit zero equals the value of start_bit.
