An amplifier can be any kind of external power amplifier that is capable of CAT type control.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ AMP_MODEL_DUMMY

#define AMP_MODEL_DUMMY AMP_MAKE_MODEL(AMP_DUMMY, 1)

A macro that returns the model number for the DUMMY backend.

The DUMMY backend, as the name suggests, is a backend which performs no hardware operations and always behaves as one would expect. It can be thought of as a hardware simulator and is very useful for testing client applications.

◆ AMP_MODEL_ELECRAFT_KPA1500

#define AMP_MODEL_ELECRAFT_KPA1500 AMP_MAKE_MODEL(AMP_ELECRAFT, 1)

A macro that returns the model number of the KPA1500 backend.

The KPA1500 backend can be used with amplifiers that support the Elecraft KPA-1500 protocol.

◆ AMP_MODEL_NETAMPCTL

#define AMP_MODEL_NETAMPCTL AMP_MAKE_MODEL(AMP_DUMMY, 2)

A macro that returns the model number for the NETAMPCTL backend.

The NETAMPCTL backend allows use of the ampctld daemon through the normal Hamlib API.

◆ AMP_MODEL_NONE

#define AMP_MODEL_NONE 0

A macro that returns the model number for an unknown model.

The none backend, as the name suggests, does nothing. It is mainly for internal use.

Function Documentation

◆ amp_cleanup()

int amp_cleanup ( AMP * amp )

Release an #AMP handle and free associated memory.

Parameters

amp	The #AMP handle to be released.

Releases an #AMP handle for which the communications channel has been closed with amp_close().

Return values

RIG_OK	#AMP handle successfully released.
RIG_EINVAL	amp is NULL or inconsistent.

See also: amp_init(), amp_close()

◆ amp_close()

int amp_close ( AMP * amp )

Close the communication channel to the amplifier.

Parameters

amp	The #AMP handle of the amplifier to be closed.

Closes the communication channel to an amplifier for which the #AMP handle has been passed by argument that was previously opened with amp_open().

Returns: RIG_OK if the operation has been successful, otherwise a negative value if an error occurred (in which case, cause is set appropriately).

	)

Query an amplifier configuration parameter token by its name.

Parameters

amp	The #AMP handle.
name	Configuration parameter token name string.

Use this function to get a pointer to the token in the confparams structure. Searches the backend config params table first, then falls back to the frontend config params table.

Returns: A pointer to the token in the confparams structure or NULL if amp is NULL or inconsistent or if name is not found (how can the caller know which occurred?).

See also: amp_token_lookup()

TODO: Should use Lex to speed it up, strcmp() hurts!

Return values

RIG_OK	All extension levels elements successfully processed.
RIG_EINVAL	amp or cfunc is NULL or inconsistent.

◆ amp_ext_lookup()

const struct confparams * amp_ext_lookup	(	AMP *	amp,

Parameters

amp	The #AMP handle.
name	The extension levels or parameters token name.

Searches the amp_caps::extlevels table and then the amp_caps::extparms table for the token by its name.

Note: As this function is called by amp_ext_token_lookup(), it can be considered a lower level API.

Returns: A pointer to the containing confparams structure member or NULL if nothing found or if amp is NULL or inconsistent.

See also: amp_ext_token_lookup()

Todo:: Should use Lex to speed it up, strcmp() hurts!
