DESCRIPTION










PxToRequest creates and initializes a timeout event handler object, which is returned. It is associated with period and events. System resources are allocated, as needed, to signal events to the calling task after a period of ticks has passed since the timeout is started (PxToStart). It is necessary to finish up with PxToRelease, when the timeout event is no longer used. If there is no object available in the object pool OpoolId, the PxToRequest waits until a free object is available.






















IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES
















Before call






    

  • 

    OpoolId must be a valid PXROS-HR object pool and the calling task must have the access right to take objects from this object pool (V). The validity of OpoolId may also be checked by the PxOpoolIsValid macro (F). The object pool must be created on the same core as the caller runs on. The creator core id can be read with the macro PxOpoolCoreId and the own core id with PxGetCoreId (C). Typically the task’s default object pool PXOpoolTaskdefault is used for this purpose.
    

    • 

  • 

    The timeout parameter must have a plausible value. It should be a constant or the result of a PxTickGetTicksFromMilliSeconds call (V);
    

    • 

  • 

    The parameter events contains an event bit  and should not be zero. Typically the event is a constant (V).

After call






    

  • 

    The returned value is the id of type PxTo_t. This id may be checked with one of the following macros:
    

    

      

    • 

      PxToIdIsValid() must be true.
      

      • 

    • 

      PxToIdGet() must not be _PXIllegalObjId.
      

      • 

    • 

      PxToIdError() must be PXERR_NOERROR otherwise the returned error code has to be interpreted (C).
      

      •

Best Practice






    

  • 

    PxToRequest may block, if no PXROS-HR object is available. If blocking calls are prohibited, PxToRequest_NoWait() should be used instead.
    

    • 

  • 

    PxToRequest should only be called during initialization to ensure the availability of the timeout object.

USAGE








#include "pxdef.h"

#define MY_EVENT_MASK 0x1l

PxTo_t To = PxToRequest(OpoolId, 1, MY_EVENT_MASK);

if (PxToIdError(To) != PXERR_NOERROR){
    // Report error
}
