available data on all streams which need to be accessed.
Also adds ability to have a timeout on stream read and writes without the
underlying connection closing on failure

|
| Protocol |
Abstract base class which represents the communication Protocol of a Brainboxes Device
|

Note this is different to a Brainboxes device WITH a serial connection (e.g. an Ethernet to Serial Device)
|
| TCPConnection |
A TCP connection to a Brainboxes Device
|
Interfaces | | Interface | Description |
|---|
 | IConnection |
Interface which describes a connection to a Brainboxes Device
|
| IDeviceC, P |
Interface to a Brainboxes Device
|
| IEDDevice |
Remote Ethernet IO interface
These devices use a command response protocol, almost every command sent to the device receives a response
|

It is also clonable so that it can be copied and assigned to multiple ports
|
Delegates | | Delegate | Description |
|---|
 | AIOLineChangedEventHandler |
When the status of 1 or more Analog IO lines change on a device within a polling internal be notified of the lines for which there is a change:
TYPES OF EVENT:
DELTA: When the line has changed more than the specified delta since the previous sampled value
TARGET: When the line has changed to go above or below the specified target since the previous sampled value
TARGET RANGE: When the line has changed to either enter the delta range of the target value or exit the delta
range of the target value since the previous sampled value
|
| ConnectionStatusChangedEventHandler |
When the status of the connection changes this event is raised
e.g. when IsConnected changes from false to true
or when IsAvailable changes:
* for example for a TCPConnection if the IP address is goes from online to offline
* or for example for a SerialConnection when the COM name is no longer present or in use by another program
|
| DeviceStatusChangedEventHandlerC, P |
When the status of the devices' connection changes
|
| IOLineChangedEventHandler |
When the status of an IO line changes, this can happen in 1 of 6 ways:
ALL TYPES OF LINE:
(1) the previous sampled value was 0 and the current sampled value is 1, RISING EDGE
(2) the previous sampled value was 1 and the current sampled value is 0, FALLING EDGE
ONLY INPUT LINES:
(3) the previous sampled value was 1 and the current sampled value is 1,
but between the 2 samplings the low latch has triggered which means the line has gone from 1 to 0 and back to 1 again, LATCHED (includes falling and rising edge)
(4) the previous sampled value was 0 and the current sampled value is 0,
but between the 2 samplings the high latch has triggered which means the line has gone from 0 to 1 and back to 0 again, LATCHED (includes rising and falling edge)
ONLY OUTPUT LINES:
(5) When the line is set changing it from a 0 to a 1, RISING EDGE
(6) When the line is set changing it from a 1 to a 0, FALLING EDGE
|
| IOLinesChangedEventHandler |
When the status of 1 or more IO lines change on a device within a polling interval be notified of all the lines for which there is a change:
ALL TYPES OF LINE:
(1) the previous sampled value was 0 and the current sampled value is 1, RISING EDGE
(2) the previous sampled value was 1 and the current sampled value is 0, FALLING EDGE
ONLY INPUT LINES:
(3) the previous sampled value was 1 and the current sampled value is 1,
but between the 2 samplings the low latch has triggered which means the line has gone from 1 to 0 and back to 1 again, LATCHED (includes falling and rising edge)
(4) the previous sampled value was 0 and the current sampled value is 0,
but between the 2 samplings the high latch has triggered which means the line has gone from 0 to 1 and back to 0 again, LATCHED (includes rising and falling edge)
ONLY OUTPUT LINES:
(5) When the line is set changing it from a 0 to a 1, RISING EDGE
(6) When the line is set changing it from a 1 to a 0, FALLING EDGE
