Win32 API reference (ni-pwm-ioctl_pwm_pin_get_active_duty_cycle_percentage)

IOCTL_PWM_PIN_GET_ACTIVE_DUTY_CYCLE_PERCENTAGE IOCTL

Description

Retrieves the current duty cycle percentage for a pin or channel. The control code returns the percentage as a PWM_PIN_GET_ACTIVE_DUTY_CYCLE_PERCENTAGE_OUTPUT structure.

Parameters

Input buffer

Not used with this operation; set to NULL.

Input buffer length

Not used with this operation; set to zero.

Output buffer

A pointer to the buffer that contains a PWM_PIN_GET_ACTIVE_DUTY_CYCLE_PERCENTAGE_OUTPUT struct. This represents the current duty cycle percentage for the PWM controller

Output buffer length

The size of the output buffer, in bytes.

Input/output buffer

Input/output buffer length

Status block

If the operation completes successfully, DeviceIoControl returns a nonzero value.

If the operation fails or is pending, DeviceIoControl returns zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

To perform this operation, call the DeviceIoControl function with the following parameters.

BOOL
   WINAPI
   DeviceIoControl( (HANDLE)       hDevice,         // handle to device
                    (DWORD)        IOCTL_PWM_PIN_GET_ACTIVE_DUTY_CYCLE_PERCENTAGE, // dwIoControlCode(LPDWORD)      NULL,      // input buffer
                    (DWORD)        0,   // size of input buffer
                    (LPDWORD)      lpOutBuffer,     // output buffer
                    (DWORD)        nOutBufferSize,  // size of output buffer
                    (LPDWORD)      lpBytesReturned, // number of bytes returned
                    (LPOVERLAPPED) lpOverlapped );  // OVERLAPPED structure

Parameters	Description
hDevice [in]	A handle to the device. To obtain a device handle, call the CreateFile function.
dwIoControlCode [in]	The control code for the operation. Use IOCTL_PWM_PIN_GET_ACTIVE_DUTY_CYCLE_PERCENTAGE for this operation.
lpInBuffer	Not used with this operation; set to NULL.
nInBufferSize [in]	Not used with this operation; set to zero.
lpOutBuffer [out]	A pointer to the buffer that contains a PWM_PIN_GET_ACTIVE_DUTY_CYCLE_PERCENTAGE_OUTPUT struct. This represents the current duty cycle percentage for the PWM controller.
nOutBufferSize [in]	The size of the output buffer, in bytes.
lpBytesReturned [out]	LPDWORD A pointer to a variable that receives the size of the data stored in the output buffer, in bytes. If the output buffer is too small, the call fails, GetLastError returns ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER, and lpBytesReturned is zero. If lpOverlapped is NULL, lpBytesReturned cannot be NULL. Even when an operation returns no output data and lpOutBuffer is NULL, DeviceIoControl makes use of lpBytesReturned. After such an operation, the value of lpBytesReturned is meaningless. If lpOverlapped is not NULL, lpBytesReturned can be NULL. If this parameter is not NULL and the operation returns data, lpBytesReturned is meaningless until the overlapped operation has completed. To retrieve the number of bytes returned, call GetOverlappedResult. If the hDevice parameter is associated with an I/O completion port, you can retrieve the number of bytes returned by calling GetQueuedCompletionStatus.
lpOverlapped [in]	LPOVERLAPPED A pointer to an OVERLAPPED structure. If hDevice was opened without specifying FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED, lpOverlapped is ignored. If hDevice was opened with the FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED flag, the operation is performed as an overlapped (asynchronous) operation. In this case, lpOverlapped must point to a valid OVERLAPPED structure that contains a handle to an event object. Otherwise, the function fails in unpredictable ways. For overlapped operations, DeviceIoControl returns immediately, and the event object is signaled when the operation has been completed. Otherwise, the function does not return until the operation has been completed or an error occurs.
