Power-IO Module

class ClassPowerIO.ClassPowerIO(_address)

setOutput(output: int, state: int) → bool

Sets the output to the given state.

Parameters:

output – Number of the output which should be set. You can use the constants (OUT1, OUT2, … , OUT10 or ALL) or integer numbers (1-10 or 255 to set all).
state – You can choose whether the Low-Side driver (OUTPUT_LOW), the High-Side driver (OUTPUT_HIGH), or no diver (OUTPUT_OFF)

Returns:

True if output was set successfully, False if not.

Return type:

bool

Example usage:

from testframework import *

#ext.init()     #only neccessary if you run this code in debug console, outside of a testrun
powerIO = ext.getPowerIO(0)
powerIO.setOutput(powerIO.OUT1, powerIO.OUTPUT_HIGH)

getInput(input: int) → int

Returns the input value

Parameters:: input (int) – Number of the input which should be read. You can use the constants (IN1, IN2, … , IN10) or integer numbers (1-10).
Returns:: 0 if input is low, 1 if input is high (you can also use constants LOW or HIGH), -1 on error
Return type:: int

Example usage:

from testframework import *

#ext.init()     #only neccessary if you run this code in debug console, outside of a testrun
powerIO = ext.getPowerIO(0)
in7Value = powerIO.getInput(powerIO.IN7):
report.checkBool("Is input low?", in7Value == powerIO.LOW)

isInputHigh(input: int) → bool

Checks if the geiven input has a hihg-level.

Parameters:: input (int) – Digital intput pin. You can use the constants (IN1, IN2, … , IN10) or integer numbers (1-12)
Returns:: True if the pin is high. False if the pin is low. Returns None on error

Example usage:

from testframework import *

#ext.init()     #only neccessary if you run this code in debug console, outside of a testrun
powerIO = ext.getPowerIO(0)
if powerIO.isInputHigh(powerIO.IN7):
    print("Its High")
else:
    print("Its Low")
