I have a CAPL test node that controls a GPIB power supply. This CAPL generates a signal that is modified each 3 ms. My CAPL looks like this:
...
testcase wavGenerator()
{
GPIBWrite(myDevice, "VOLT", voltValue);
testwaitfortimeout(3);
...
}
The problem is that this testwaitfortimeout() function generates a comment in the test report, and since i use this function 2000/3000 times for each testcase, I end with a enormous test report.
I have tried implementing a function to generate a "delay" like waitfortimeout() does, like this:
void delay(int ms)
{
float refTime;
refTime = timeNowFloat();
while(timeNowFloat() < (refTime + ms*100))
{
/* Wait to reach expected time*/
}
}
but this crashes CANoe. I have tried something like this with setTimer() functions but the problem is the same. How can I generate this delay?
I found a way to deal with this, using a timer, an EnvVar and the function testWaitForEnvVar()
on timer tDelay
{
@EnvDelayFunct = 1;
}
void delay(int ms)
{
int a;
write("Wait for %i ms", ms);
setTimer(tDelay, ms);
a = testWaitForEnvVar(EnvDelayFunct, 0);
@EnvDelayFunct = 0;
}
