Method Details

isConsistentValue

@CheckReturnValue default boolean isConsistentValue()

Show whether the analog value is stable.

Returns:

true if the analog value is stable

setCommandedAnalogValue

void setCommandedAnalogValue(double value) throws JmriException

Change the commanded value, which results in the relevant command(s) being sent to the hardware. The exception is thrown if there are problems communicating with the layout hardware.

The value must be a valid number, not a NaN or infinity number.

Parameters:

value - the desired analog value

Throws:

JmriException - general error when setting the value fails

IllegalArgumentException - if the value is Double.NaN, Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY or Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY

getCommandedAnalogValue

@CheckReturnValue double getCommandedAnalogValue()

Query the commanded value. This is a bound parameter, so you can also register a listener to be informed of changes.

The result must be a valid number, not a NaN or infinity number.

Returns:

the analog value

getKnownAnalogValue

@CheckReturnValue default double getKnownAnalogValue()

Query the known analog value. This is a bound parameter, so you can also register a listener to be informed of changes. A result is always returned; if no other feedback method is available, the commanded value will be used.

The result must be a valid number, not a NaN or infinity number.

Returns:

the known analog value

setState

@InvokeOnLayoutThread void setState(double value) throws JmriException

Provide generic access to internal state.

This generally shouldn't be used by Java code; use the class-specific form instead (setCommandedAnalogValue). This is provided to make scripts access easier to read.

Parameters:

value - the analog value

Throws:

JmriException - general error when setting the state fails

getState

@CheckReturnValue double getState(double v)

Provide generic access to internal state.

This generally shouldn't be used by Java code; use the class-specific form instead (getCommandedAnalogValue). This is provided to make scripts easier to read.

Parameters:

v - only used to select this method which returns an analog value. It's recommended to use 0.0 as the parameter.

Returns:

the state

getMin

@CheckReturnValue double getMin()

Get the minimum value of this AnalogIO.

Returns:

minimum value.

getMax

@CheckReturnValue double getMax()

Get the maximum value of this AnalogIO.

Returns:

maximum value.

getResolution

@CheckReturnValue double getResolution()

Get the resolution of this AnalogIO.

Returns:

analog resolution.

getAbsoluteOrRelative

@CheckReturnValue AnalogIO.AbsoluteOrRelative getAbsoluteOrRelative()

Is this AnalogIO absolute or relative?

Returns:

if absolute or relative.

requestUpdateFromLayout

default void requestUpdateFromLayout()

Request an update from the layout soft/hardware. May not even happen, and if it does it will happen later; listen for the result.
