linMeasEdgeTimeDiffs

Valid for: CANoe DE

​
Function Syntax

  • dword linMeasEdgeTimeDiffs(dword numIndices, long indices[]); // form 1
  • dword linMeasEdgeTimeDiffs(dword numIndices, long indices[], dword id); // form 2

​
Description

This function activates the measurement of the falling edges of the specified bytes in the next frame with the correct id if specified. If the first form is used (without specifying an id), or by specifying the id 0xff/-1, the measurement takes place in the next frame. The measured values can be queried with linGetMeasEdgeTimeDiffs. The bitrates of the measured bytes can be queried via linGetMeasByteBitRates.

​
Parameters

  • numIndices: The number of specified byte indices. A pending measurement may be canceled by specifying numIndices=0, before the frame to be measured occurs on the bus. A pending, uncompleted measurement must be canceled, before a new measurement can be activated.
  • indices: An array containing the indices of the bytes to be measured. Note that the minimum size for this array is numIndices. The array is sorted ascending internally. Therefore, the results of the measurement are sorted as well from the lowest to the highest byte index. Furthermore, duplicate entries are ignored.
    • Index range:
      • -2…N, where N = length [in bytes] of specified LIN frame
      • -2: Sync field
      • -1: PID byte
      • 0…N-1: Data bytes 1…N
      • N: Checksum byte
  • id: The LIN identifier of the frame to be measured. Value range: 0..63 Note: If the function is configured to measure header bytes (index < 0) on interfaces of the XL family, the measurement always takes place in the next frame regardless of the specified id.

​
Return Values

On success, a value unequal to zero, otherwise zero.

Example

// Test case for measuring edges of a number of data bytes of a LIN frame.
// Note: This test case can only be used in the context of test module nodes
testcase tcMeasureEdges(int byteIndex)
{
    long indices[1];
    float timeDiffs[4];
    dword numDiffs;
    indices[0] = byteIndex;
    // set request to measure the edges of the specified byte of the frame with ID=0x33
    linMeasEdgeTimeDiffs(1, indices, 0x33);
    // wait maximum 1000 [ms] for frame with ID=0x33
    waitResult = TestWaitForMessage(0x33, 1000);
    // declare failure if Wait has resumed not due to expected event
    if (1 != waitResult)
    {
        TestStepFail("Test1.1","Expected frame has not occurred during 1000 ms!");
    }
    // retrieve measured edges
    numDiffs = LINGetMeasEdgeTimeDiffs(4, timeDiffs);
    if (numDiffs == 0)
    {
        TestStepFail("Test1.1", "Failed to measure edges!");
    }
    else
    {
        TestStepPass("Test 1.1", "Edge measurement done...");
