Function Documentation

◆ RBRInstrument_getClock()

RBRInstrumentError RBRInstrument_getClock	(	RBRInstrument *	instrument,
		RBRInstrumentClock *	clock
	)

Get the instrument clock.

Because UTC offset is tracked as a setting on Logger2 instruments, not as a parameter of the now command (as it is of clock on Logger3), this function will internally issue two commands to Logger2 instruments to separately receive the time and UTC offset. When retrieving the clock from older Logger2 instruments which do not support the offsetfromutc setting, RBRInstrumentClock.offsetFromUtc will always be NAN.

Parameters

[in]	instrument	the instrument connection
[out]	clock	the clock value

Returns: RBRINSTRUMENT_SUCCESS when the settings are successfully read; RBRINSTRUMENT_TIMEOUT when a timeout occurs; RBRINSTRUMENT_CALLBACK_ERROR returned by a callback

See also: https://docs.rbr-global.com/L3commandreference/commands/time-and-schedule/clock

◆ RBRInstrument_getDeployment()

RBRInstrumentError RBRInstrument_getDeployment	(	RBRInstrument *	instrument,
		RBRInstrumentDeployment *	deployment
	)

Get the instrument deployment parameters.

Parameters

[in]	instrument	the instrument connection
[out]	deployment	the deployment parameters

Returns: RBRINSTRUMENT_SUCCESS when the settings are successfully read; RBRINSTRUMENT_TIMEOUT when a timeout occurs; RBRINSTRUMENT_CALLBACK_ERROR returned by a callback

See also: https://docs.rbr-global.com/L3commandreference/commands/time-and-schedule/deployment

◆ RBRInstrument_getSampling()

RBRInstrumentError RBRInstrument_getSampling	(	RBRInstrument *	instrument,
		RBRInstrumentSampling *	sampling
	)

Get the instrument sampling parameters.

Parameters

[in]	instrument	the instrument connection
[out]	sampling	the sampling parameters

Returns: RBRINSTRUMENT_SUCCESS when the settings are successfully read; RBRINSTRUMENT_TIMEOUT when a timeout occurs; RBRINSTRUMENT_CALLBACK_ERROR returned by a callback

See also: https://docs.rbr-global.com/L3commandreference/commands/time-and-schedule/sampling

◆ RBRInstrument_setBurstSampling()

RBRInstrumentError RBRInstrument_setBurstSampling	(	RBRInstrument *	instrument,
		const RBRInstrumentSampling *	sampling
	)

Set the instrument burst sampling length and interval.

This sets only burst parameters (RBRInstrumentSampling.burstLength and RBRInstrumentSampling.burstInterval). To configure the sampling mode and period, use RBRInstrument_setSampling().

Only burst parameters are sent to the instrument. However, the sampling period (RBRInstrumentSampling.period) is used to validate the burst interval, which is itself validated by RBRInstrumentSampling.userPeriodLimit and RBRInstrumentSampling.availableFastPeriods. See RBRInstrumentSampling.burstInterval for details.

Hardware errors may occur if:

the instrument is logging
you set an out-of-bounds parameter the library fails to detect
bursting/averaging is not supported by the instrument

Parameters

[in]	instrument	the instrument connection
[in]	sampling	the sampling parameters

Returns: RBRINSTRUMENT_SUCCESS when the settings are successfully written; RBRINSTRUMENT_TIMEOUT when a timeout occurs; RBRINSTRUMENT_CALLBACK_ERROR returned by a callback; RBRINSTRUMENT_HARDWARE_ERROR when the settings cannot be changed; RBRINSTRUMENT_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE when parameter values are out of range

See also: https://docs.rbr-global.com/L3commandreference/commands/time-and-schedule/sampling; RBRInstrument_setSampling()

◆ RBRInstrument_setClock()

RBRInstrumentError RBRInstrument_setClock	(	RBRInstrument *	instrument,
		const RBRInstrumentClock *	clock
	)

Set the instrument clock.

Because UTC offset is tracked as a setting on Logger2 instruments, not as a parameter of the now command (as it is of clock on Logger3), this function will internally issue two commands to Logger2 instruments to separately set the time and UTC offset. When setting the clock on older Logger2 instruments which do not support the offsetfromutc setting, the value of the RBRInstrumentClock.offsetFromUtc field will be ignored.

Hardware errors may occur if:

the instrument is logging
you set an out-of-bounds time the library fails to detect

Parameters

[in]	instrument	the instrument connection
[in]	clock	the clock value

Returns: RBRINSTRUMENT_SUCCESS when the settings are successfully written; RBRINSTRUMENT_TIMEOUT when a timeout occurs; RBRINSTRUMENT_CALLBACK_ERROR returned by a callback; RBRINSTRUMENT_HARDWARE_ERROR when the settings cannot be changed; RBRINSTRUMENT_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE when the clock values are out of range

See also: https://docs.rbr-global.com/L3commandreference/commands/time-and-schedule/clock

◆ RBRInstrument_setDeployment()

RBRInstrumentError RBRInstrument_setDeployment	(	RBRInstrument *	instrument,
		const RBRInstrumentDeployment *	deployment
	)

Set the instrument deployment parameters.

As noted in the description of RBRInstrumentDeployment.status, that field is ignored when setting the deployment.

Hardware errors may occur if:

the instrument is logging
you set an out-of-bounds parameter the library fails to detect

Parameters

[in]	instrument	the instrument connection
[in]	deployment	the deployment parameters

Returns: RBRINSTRUMENT_SUCCESS when the settings are successfully written; RBRINSTRUMENT_TIMEOUT when a timeout occurs; RBRINSTRUMENT_CALLBACK_ERROR returned by a callback; RBRINSTRUMENT_HARDWARE_ERROR when the settings cannot be changed; RBRINSTRUMENT_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE when the start or end time values are out of range

See also: https://docs.rbr-global.com/L3commandreference/commands/time-and-schedule/deployment

◆ RBRInstrument_setSampling()

RBRInstrumentError RBRInstrument_setSampling	(	RBRInstrument *	instrument,
		const RBRInstrumentSampling *	sampling
	)

Set the instrument sampling mode and period.

This does not set burst parameters (RBRInstrumentSampling.burstLength and RBRInstrumentSampling.burstInterval). On instruments which do not support bursting/averaging, attempting to set these parameters results in a hardware error; to avoid this, bursting parameters may be configured via RBRInstrument_setBurstSampling().

The values of RBRInstrumentSampling.userPeriodLimit and RBRInstrumentSampling.availableFastPeriods are not sent to the instrument, but they are used to validate the chosen RBRInstrumentSampling.period. If RBRInstrumentSampling.userPeriodLimit is non-zero, then the specified sampling period must be equal or greater. And if the period is less than 1,000 and the RBRInstrumentSampling.availableFastPeriods are populated, then the period must be one of those available fast periods.

Periods greater than or equal to 1,000 (one second) must be an integer multiple of 1,000 and must be less than or equal to 86,400,000 (24 hours).

The value RBRInstrumentSampling.gate is also ignored. The gating mode is controlled via commands for the individual gating mechanisms: see RBRInstrument_setTwistActivation() and RBRInstrument_setThresholding().

Hardware errors may occur if:

the instrument is logging
you set an out-of-bounds parameter the library fails to detect
you attempt to set sampling parameters for an RBRcoda (where sampling is not supported)

Parameters

[in]	instrument	the instrument connection
[in]	sampling	the sampling parameters

Returns: RBRINSTRUMENT_SUCCESS when the settings are successfully written; RBRINSTRUMENT_TIMEOUT when a timeout occurs; RBRINSTRUMENT_CALLBACK_ERROR returned by a callback; RBRINSTRUMENT_HARDWARE_ERROR when the settings cannot be changed; RBRINSTRUMENT_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE when parameter values are out of range

See also: https://docs.rbr-global.com/L3commandreference/commands/time-and-schedule/sampling; RBRInstrument_setBurstSampling()

◆ RBRInstrumentDeploymentStatus_name()

const char * RBRInstrumentDeploymentStatus_name ( RBRInstrumentDeploymentStatus status )

Parameters

Get a human-readable string name for a gating condition.

Parameters
