Detailed Description

A AnalogDrive Object converts a physical unit (position, torque,.

..) to an analog output. It can also be enabled.

Uses an analog output which is connected to a hardware drive with position/velocity/acceleration/torque control and the enabling of the drive through a digital output.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

AnalogDrive ( AnalogOutput *  an_out,
DigitalOutput *  dig_out,
double  _scale = 1.0,
double  _offset = 0.0 
) [inline]

Construct an Analog Drive object and aggregate an_out and dig_out.

The voltage sent to the AnalogOutput is calculated as :

         * volt = (setpoint + offset)/scale
         * 

Example for a velocity drive :

         * scale = 10 mm/s/Volt
         * offset = 5
         * velocity = X
         * output   = Y
         *  Y Volt = ( - X (mm/s) + 5 (mm/s) )/ ( 10 ( mm/s/ Volt ) )
         * 
Parameters:
_scale The scale of unit per volt such that unit = volt * _scale
_offset The offset to be added to the unit such that new_unit = vel + offset
