blockPhysicalDataRead

Read physical value (in volts or milliamps) from Comedi ADC channel
Diagram of PhysicalDataRead

Extends from Modelica_DeviceDrivers.Utilities.Icons.BaseIcon (Base icon for blocks providing access to external devices), Modelica_DeviceDrivers.Utilities.Icons.PartialClockedDeviceDriverIcon, Modelica_DeviceDrivers.Utilities.Icons.LinuxTuxBlockIcon (Icon for blocks that are only supported under Linux (Tux from JZA placed into the public domain, http://openclipart.org/detail/168653/tux-enhanced-by-jza).).

Information

The parameter comedi needs to be set to a valid Comedi device handle, i.e., needs to be set to the record member dh of a ComediConfig record instance.

Uses the Comedi function comedi_to_phys(..) to convert a raw input obtained from the ADC to a physical value (volts or milliamps) . See the Comedi documentation for the meanings of the parameters subDevice, channel, range, aref.

Note

Only supported for Linux, since Comedi is only available for linux (http://www.comedi.org/). Requires that Comedilib is installed and that the simulation process has sufficient privileges to access the intended device (usually that means "root" privileges).
