Function Documentation

int foreach_opened_rot	(	int(*)(ROT *, char *)	cfunc,
		char *	data
	)

execs cfunc() on each opened rot

Parameters:

	cfunc	The function to be executed on each rot
	data	Data pointer to be passed to cfunc()

Calls cfunc() function for each opened rot. The contents of the opened rot table is processed in random order according to a function pointed to by cfunc, whic is called with two arguments, the first pointing to the ROT handle, the second to a data pointer data. If data is not needed, then it can be set to NULL. The processing of the opened rot table is stopped when cfunc() returns 0.

int rot_cleanup

(

ROT *

rot

)

release a rot handle and free associated memory

Parameters:

rot

The ROT handle of the radio to be closed

Releases a rot struct which port has eventualy been closed already with rot_close().

Returns:

RIG_OK if the operation has been sucessful, otherwise a negative value if an error occured (in which case, cause is set appropriately).

See also:

rot_init(), rot_close()

int rot_close

(

ROT *

rot

)

close the communication to the rot

Parameters:

rot

The ROT handle of the rotator to be closed

Closes communication to a radio which ROT handle has been passed by argument that was previously open with rot_open().

Returns:

RIG_OK if the operation has been sucessful, otherwise a negative value if an error occured (in which case, cause is set appropriately).

See also:

rot_cleanup(), rot_open()

int rot_get_conf	(	ROT *	rot,
		token_t	token,
		char *	val
	)

get the value of a configuration parameter

Parameters:

	rot	The rot handle
	token	The parameter
	val	The location where to store the value of config token

Retrieves the value of a configuration paramter associated with token.

Returns:

RIG_OK if the operation has been sucessful, otherwise a negative value if an error occured (in which case, cause is set appropriately).

See also:

rot_set_conf()

const char* rot_get_info

(

ROT *

rot

)

get general information from the rotator

Parameters:

rot

The rot handle

Retrieves some general information from the rotator. This can include firmware revision, exact model name, or just nothing.

Returns:

a pointer to static memory containing the ASCIIZ string if the operation has been sucessful, otherwise NULL if an error occured or get_info not part of capabilities.

int rot_get_position	(	ROT *	rot,
		azimuth_t *	azimuth,
		elevation_t *	elevation
	)

get the azimuth and elevation of the rotator

Parameters:

	rot	The rot handle
	azimuth	The location where to store the current azimuth
	elevation	The location where to store the current elevation

Retrieves the current azimuth and elevation of the rotator.

Returns:

RIG_OK if the operation has been sucessful, otherwise a negative value if an error occured (in which case, cause is set appropriately).

See also:

rot_set_position()

ROT* rot_init

(

rot_model_t

rot_model

)

allocate a new ROT handle

Parameters:

rot_model

The rot model for this new handle

Allocates a new ROT handle and initializes the associated data for rot_model.

Returns:

a pointer to the ROT handle otherwise NULL if memory allocation failed or rot_model is unknown (e.g. backend autoload failed).

See also:

rot_cleanup(), rot_open()

int rot_move	(	ROT *	rot,
		int	direction,
		int	speed
	)

move the rotator in the specified direction

Parameters:

	rot	The rot handle
	direction	Direction of movement
	speed	Speed of movement

Move the rotator in the specified direction. The speed is a value between 1 and 100.

int rot_open

(

ROT *

rot

)

open the communication to the rot

Parameters:

rot

The ROT handle of the rotator to be opened

Opens communication to a rotator which ROT handle has been passed by argument.

Returns:

RIG_OK if the operation has been sucessful, otherwise a negative value if an error occured (in which case, cause is set appropriately).

Return values:

	RIG_EINVAL	rot is NULL or unconsistent.
	RIG_ENIMPL	port type communication is not implemented yet.

See also:

rot_init(), rot_close()

int rot_park

(

ROT *

rot

)

park the antenna

Parameters:

rot

The rot handle

Park the antenna.

Returns:

RIG_OK if the operation has been sucessful, otherwise a negative value if an error occured (in which case, cause is set appropriately).

int rot_reset	(	ROT *	rot,
		rot_reset_t	reset
	)

reset the rotator

Parameters:

	rot	The rot handle
	reset	The reset operation to perform

Resets the rotator.

Returns:

RIG_OK if the operation has been sucessful, otherwise a negative value if an error occured (in which case, cause is set appropriately).

int rot_set_conf	(	ROT *	rot,
		token_t	token,
		const char *	val
	)

set a rotator configuration parameter

Parameters:

	rot	The rot handle
	token	The parameter
	val	The value to set the parameter to

Sets a configuration parameter.

Returns:

RIG_OK if the operation has been sucessful, otherwise a negative value if an error occured (in which case, cause is set appropriately).

See also:

rot_get_conf()

int rot_set_position	(	ROT *	rot,
		azimuth_t	azimuth,
		elevation_t	elevation
	)

set the azimuth and elevation of the rotator

Parameters:

	rot	The rot handle
	azimuth	The azimuth to set to
	elevation	The elevation to set to

Sets the azimuth and elevation of the rotator.

Returns:

RIG_OK if the operation has been sucessful, otherwise a negative value if an error occured (in which case, cause is set appropriately).

See also:

rot_get_position()

int rot_stop

(

ROT *

rot

)

stop the rotator

Parameters:

rot

The rot handle
