vtsSetIntegrationTime

Valid for: CANoe DE • CANoe:lite DE

Function Syntax

long vtsSetIntegrationTime (char Target[], double IntTime);

Description

Mean and RMS values are calculated in a moving measurement time window. The length of the time window can be set with this function.

Parameters

• Target: Name of the system variable/namespace that will be affected by this function call.
• IntTime: Measurement time window in seconds.
  • VT1004/VT1104: The only permissible time settings are 128 µs (= 0.000128; mean value only), 1 ms (mean value only), 10 ms, 100 ms, and 1 s.
  • VT2516/VT7001: The permissible time settings depend on the concrete measurement values and are similar to the possible settings in the VT System configuration dialog. If an invalid value is specified, the call will fail.

Return Values

• 0: Successful call
• -1: Call error, i.e. system variable does not belong to a valid VT System read value or integration time is invalid.
• -2: The system variable on which the command was called is not valid

Example

This example demonstrates how to change the integration time of a VT System system variable during the measurement. The integration time is set to 1s to cancel out noise in the sensor readings. It is assumed that the sensor to be read is connected to a channel called TempSensor of the VT1004 module.

CAPL

SetIntegrationTime ()
{
   // Set integration time to 1 second
   vtsSetIntegrationTime("VTS::TempSensor::Avg", 1.0);

   // Output sensor readings to the Write Window every second
   while(1)
   {
      write("Average sensor value: %fV", @sysvar::VTS::TempSensor::Avg);
      TestWaitForTimeOut(1000);
   }
}

.NET (C#)

public void SetIntegrationTime()
{
    // Get VTS interface and temperature sensor channel
    IVTSystem vts = VTSystem.Instance;
    IVT1004Channel tempSensor = vts.GetChannel("TempSensor") as IVT1004Channel;
    // Set integration time to 1 second
    tempSensor.Avg.IntegrationTime = 1.0;
    // Output sensor readings to the Write Window every second
    while (true)
    {
        Vector.Tools.Output.WriteLine("Average sensor value: " + tempSensor.Avg.Value.ToString() + "V");
        Vector.CANoe.Threading.Execution.Wait(1000);
    }
}
