50 Fox (LP3500)
Use this function to poll a selected digital input until a timeout occurs. The function call forces the
LP3500 to enter the low-power mode using the battery for polling. Upon activation of the channel or
expiration of the timeout, this function will enable the normal power mode and exit.
Use
devPowerSet(ALLDEVICES, int state)
before and after this function call to deactivate
and activate all devices to operate at less power.
PARAMETERS
channel
is the digital input channel (IN00– IN15) to poll
value
is the input value of 0 or 1 to receive
lowpowermode
is the low-power mode setting to enter, usually 10 (see
powerMode()
)
maxpowermode
is the maximum operating power mode setting to enter, usually 1 (see
power-
Mode()
)
powersource
1 = battery
2 = raw DC power
timeout is the timeout in seconds if an input is not received. Enter 0 for no timeout.
SEE ALSO

PARAMETER
0 for normal power source
1 for battery
RETURN VALUE
0 if successful
-1 if raw DC power source is not available
-2 if battery is not available
