set_mode_analog_output

This function sets the output channel mode for an analog output port mounted on the robot controller’s control box.
Each analog output channel can be configured to output either a current (mA) or voltage (V) signal depending on the external device requirements.

Definition
DRFLEx.h within class CDRFLEx, public section (line 851)

bool set_mode_analog_output(GPIO_CTRLBOX_ANALOG_INDEX eGpioIndex,
                            GPIO_ANALOG_TYPE eAnalogType = GPIO_ANALOG_TYPE_CURRENT)
{ return _set_mode_analog_output(_rbtCtrl, eGpioIndex, eAnalogType); };

Parameter

Parameter Name	Data Type	Default Value	Description
eGpioIndex	GPIO_CTRLBOX_ANALOG_INDEX		Index of the analog output port on the control box.
eAnalogType	GPIO_ANALOG_TYPE	GPIO_ANALOG_TYPE_CURRENT	Type of analog output mode.

Return

Value	Description
0	Error — failed to configure the analog output mode
1	Success — mode configuration applied successfully

Example

#include "DRFLEx.h"
using namespace DRAFramework;

int main() {
    CDRFLEx drfl;

    // Set analog output #1 to current mode (4–20 mA)
    drfl.set_mode_analog_output(GPIO_CTRLBOX_ANALOG_INDEX_1, GPIO_ANALOG_TYPE_CURRENT);

    // Set analog output #2 to voltage mode (0–10 V)
    drfl.set_mode_analog_output(GPIO_CTRLBOX_ANALOG_INDEX_2, GPIO_ANALOG_TYPE_VOLTAGE);
}

This example configures analog output #1 to operate in current mode and analog output #2 in voltage mode, enabling the robot controller to generate output signals compatible with various external control devices.
