Public Method setChronometry

static void setChronometry(byte startEdge, byte stopEdge, byte stopCycles, byte inPin)

Throws:

• IOException

_INSERT_METHOD_SIGNATURE_HERE_

The chronometry is used to measure time of external events on a single input pin. It is started by the occurrence of an external event on this input pin. This external event is specified by the startEdge. The chronometry can be stoped by the occurrence of another external event on this input pin. This stop event is defined by the stopEdge parameter.

Parameter	Range	Description
startEdge	IO.RISING_EDGE, IO.FALLING_EDGE	defines the start edge
stopEdge	IO.RISING_EDGE, IO.FALLING_EDGE	defines the stop edge
stopCycles	1 ... 1000000	number of repetitive stop events
ioPin	0 ... 15	defined input pin

The startEdge defines a rising or a falling edge to start the chronometry. The stopEdge defines a rising or falling edge for the stop condition. The stopCycle defines the number of stop conditions that must occur to stop the chronometry. The ioPin specifies the single input pin that is used for the external start and stop conditions.

• The defined ioPin must be set as input within the 'I/O Settings'.
• The 'Input #0' within the 'I/O Settings' corresponds to IO.INPUT_0. It is also possible to use another input for chronometry.
• Not all physical pins can be used for chronometry. An exception is thrown if a pin can not be used.
• An exception is thrown if this method is not called and the getChronometryValue is invoked.

Example

  IO.setChronometry(IO.RISING_EDGE, IO.FALLING_EDGE, (byte)1, IO.INPUT_0);

IO.getChronometryValue()
IO.setChronometryOnOff(byte)
