Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ cRS232() [1/2]

cRS232::cRS232	(	int	_port,
		unsigned long	_baudrate,
		double	_timeout,
		char const *	_device_format_string = `"/dev/ttyS%d"`
	)

Constructor: constructs an object to communicate with an SDH via RS232

Parameters

_port	- rs232 device number: 0='COM1'='/dev/ttyS0', 1='COM2'='/dev/ttyS1', ...
_baudrate	- the baudrate in bit/s
_timeout	- the timeout in seconds
_device_format_string	- a format string (C string) for generating the device name, like "/dev/ttyS%d" (default) or "/dev/ttyUSB%d". Must contain a d where the port number should be inserted. This char array is duplicated on construction

Constructor: constructs an object to communicate with an SDH via RS232

Parameters

_port	- rs232 device number: 0='COM1'='/dev/ttyS0', 1='COM2'='/dev/ttyS1', ...
_baudrate	- the baudrate in bit/s
_timeout	- the timeout in seconds
_device_format_string	- ignored for this VCC version

◆ Open() [1/2]

void cRS232::Open ( void )

virtual

Open rs232 port port.

Open the device with the parameters provided in the constructor

Implements cSerialBase.

virtual

Open the device as configured by the parameters given to the constructor

Bug:

The binary communication introduced in firmware 0.0.2.15 and SDHLibrary-C++ 0.0.2.0 did not work properly on Linux when RS232 was used for communication.

ssize_t cRS232::Read	(	void *	data,
		ssize_t	size,
		long	timeout_us,
		bool	return_on_less_data
	)

virtual

Read data from device. This function waits until max_time_us us passed or the expected number of bytes are received via serial line. if (return_on_less_data is true (default value), the number of bytes that have been received are returned and the data is stored in data If the return_on_less_data is false, data is only read from serial line, if at least size bytes are available.

Implements cSerialBase.
