RT.Driver

Represent device driver in real-time kernel

Since R2023b

Description

An RT.Driver object represents a device driver in the real-time kernel.

Creation

Use the loadDriver function to load a device driver in the real-time kernel.

Properties

Parent — Parent object of device driver object

RT.Kernel object

The Parent property provides the name of the kernel object that is the parent of the device driver.

Name — Name of device driver

character vector | string scalar

The name of the device driver.

Address — Address of device driver

int

The device driver address.

IOSizes — I/O sizes of devices

array

The I/O sizes of devices. The array contains the sizes of all supported I/O types:

• Analog I/O

• Digital I/O

• Counter I/O

• Encoder I/O

• Other I/O

• Stream I/O

Object Functions

loadDriver

Load driver instance into real-time kernel

Examples

Get Driver Property Values

This example shows how to get driver property values for the RT.Driver object.

Create a variable that represents the driver, then get the Name property value.

openExample('sldrtex_counter');
myBoard = get_param(['sldrtex_counter','/Counter Input'], 'DrvName');
myDriver = loadDriver(RT.Kernel,myBoard);
myDriver.Name

ans =

    'Standard_Devices/UDP_Protocol'
