usb_tc08_legacy_get_cycle
short usb_tc08_legacy_get_cycle
(
long * cycle,
short handle
)
This routine gives the number of complete cycles of readings taken from a particular
USB TC-08. Calling usb_tc08_legacy_get_temp causes the most recent reading for the
specified channel to be returned immediately. If you wish to record values only when
the driver has taken a new reading, you can use this routine to find out how many
complete cycles of readings the driver has taken. Then you can call
usb_tc08_legacy_get_temp, but only when the cycle has been incremented.
Arguments
handle
Specifies a USB TC-08 unit.
cycle
Pointer to a location where the cycle number is to be stored.
Returns
0
Use usb_tc08_get_last_error.
1
Legacy get cycle successful.
Tip: Do not test for an exact cycle number; instead, test for a different cycle number
as your application may have missed readings. See the Legacy mode section for an
example.
Note: Do not call this function unless you are operating the USB TC-08 in legacy
mode, having called usb_tc08_legacy_run.
