This chapter gives an overview of the members available for the PhidgetIR device.
Please read the chapter "Phidgets - PhidgetIR" if you would like to know how to add and use this device. As explained in the topic"Object and Member Notation (dot syntax)", all kinds of objects can be addressed in the scripting language by using their members which set (or return if applicable) properties or methods of that object. Please refer to the chapter "Script Language" for more details about scripting in general.
Project.Phidgets_PhidgetIR(deviceName or ID) |
Example: Alternative Example: |
This gives access to all further members of the device "Phidgets_PhidgetIR" from the Configuration dialog. Using the Project object is an alternative to addressing the device directly by entering its name. The Project object allows to address the device through its name or ID. Substituting the ID with a dynamic variable allows automation. Actions can be performed on many devices of the same type simultaneously, e.g. by using for-loops: |
Phidgets_PhidgetIRName.DeviceSerial |
Example: Alternative Example: |
This member sets and returns the serial number which is displayed next to "Serial" in the Configuration menu when selecting the according Phidgets device. You could also write it into a Widget, e.g. a Label via the script: Label1.Text = Phidgets_PhidgetIR1.DeviceSerial Example2: The second example shows, how to set the serial number of the device in the Configuration menu to 530161. |
Phidgets_PhidgetIRName.Disable |
Example: Alternative Example: |
This disables the Phidgets device in the Configuration dialog as if the "Enable" check box in the window was unchecked. Use the .Enable member to reverse this command. |
Phidgets_PhidgetIRName.Enable |
Example: Alternative Example: |
This enables the Phidgets device in the Configuration dialog as if the "Enable" check box in the window was checked. Use the .Disable member to reverse this command. |
Phidgets_PhidgetIRName.IsConnected |
Example: Alternative Example: |
This member returns the connection status for the Phidgets device as a Boolean value. The result is "True" if the device is connected and "False" if it is currently disconnected. You could also write it into a Widget, e.g. a Label via the script: Label1.Text = Phidgets_PhidgetIR1.IsConnected |
Phidgets_PhidgetIRName.IsEnabled |
Example: Alternative Example: |
This member returns the status of the check box "Enable" of the configuration dialog when selecting the according Phidgets device. The result, a Boolean value (or string), is "True" if the device is enabled and "False" if it is currently not enabled. You could also write it into a Widget, e.g. a Label via the script: Label1.Text = Phidgets_PhidgetIR1.IsEnabled |
Phidgets_PhidgetIRName.Send(table,Alias,repeatCount) |
Example: Alternative Example: |
The Send member is used to send a learned code out via the device's IR diodes. The example refers to the IR Code Table named "Phidgets_IRCodeTable1" and a code named "Play" which is saved there. Both names are suggested by the ScriptAssistant. According to the repeatCount, the code is sent out 10 times. If you would like to send an IR code that has not been stored in a code table, you could use the Phidgets_PhidgetIR1.SendRaw command. Another possibility to send a learned code is using the member of the table: Phidgets_IRCodeTable1.Send |
Phidgets_PhidgetIRName.SendRaw(data,carrierFrequency,dutyCycle,gap) |
Example: Alternative Example: |
The SendRaw member is used to send a raw code out via the device's IR diodes. Please refer to the Phidgets SDK for more information, e.g. PhidgetIR - 1055_0B Note that the alternative member Phidgets_PhidgetIR1.Send refers to an IR Code Table and previously learned codes, hence there is no need to enter the code parameters manually. |
