StartRepeatMulti

Start repeating communications from main board to report weights, I/O status, and optionally input counters.

int StartRepeatMulti(uint32 interval, struct mnbd_multi_rep_counters_struct& counters);

int StartRepeatMulti(uint32 interval, struct mnbd_multi_rep_counters_struct* counters = NULL);

Parameters

• interval - update interval in milliseconds
• counters - structure to define any DIO counters to be reported

Return Value

• Returns the result - OK success

Remarks

The main board or option card must already be opened by calling OpenMnBd first. The call does a wait for acknowledgement. If the application is using main board communication events these events may be called during the wait for acknowledgement.

Examples

if(StartRepeatMulti(100) == OK)
    DisplayText(0, 0, "Wt and I/O 10 times per second");

int bd = 1;
int inp = 8;

SetDIOCounter(bd, inp, dioSetCount, 0, WAIT_ACK);
SetDIOCounter(bd, inp, dioSetPrescaler, 1, WAIT_ACK);
SetDIOCounter(bd, inp, dioSetCountUp, 0, WAIT_ACK);
SetDIOCounter(bd, inp, dioSetCountLowToHigh, 0, WAIT_ACK);
SetDIOCounter(bd, inp, dioEnableCounter, 0, WAIT_ACK);

struct mnbd_multi_rep_counters_struct counters;
memset(&counters, 0, sizeof(counters));

counters.cnt1_bd = bd;
counters.cnt1_input = inp;

if(StartRepeatMulti(100, counters) == OK)
    DisplayText(0, 0, "Wt, I/O, cnt 10 times per second");
