NAME

sim_pin - GUI for displaying and setting one or more HAL inputs

SYNOPSIS

sim_pin [Options] name1 [ name2 [ name3 ...]]

Options :
--help (shows help text)
--title title_string

For bit items, the name may include a /mode= specifier:
namei /mode= [ pulse | toggle | hold ]
(default is toggle)

DESCRIPTION

HAL boolean items (bit) and numerical items (u32, s32, float) are supported.

If the named input is a numerical type, the GUI displays:

Entry Entry widget for value or a valid Tcl expression.
Set Pushbutton to set new value from Entry (or use <RETURN>)
Reset Pushbutton to reset to the value present on initiation

If the input is a bit type, the GUI shows a single pushbutton that is controlled by radio-button selectors:

mode= pulse Pulse input to 1 for each pushbutton press
mode= toggle Toggle input for each pushbutton press
mode= hold Set input to 1 while pushbutton pressed

If the bit item mode begins with an uppercase letter, the radio buttons for selecting other modes are not shown

NOTE

LinuxCNC or a standalone HAL application must be running

A named item can specify a pin , param , or signal . The named item must be writable:

pin IN or I/O (and not connected to a signal with a writer)
param RW
signal connected to a writable pin

USAGE

sim_pin can be used interactively from a shell command line or started automatically from a configuration INI file.
