getStatus

Get status of Hokuyo 2-D lidar sensor parameter

Since R2024a

Syntax

status = getStatus(hokuyoObj,param)

Description

Add-On Required: This feature requires the Lidar Toolbox Support Package for Hokuyo Lidar Sensors add-on.

status = getStatus(hokuyoObj,param) gets the status of the specified parameter param of the Hokuyo™ 2-D lidar sensor associated with the hokuyolidar2d object hokuyoObj.

Examples

Get Current Motor Speed of Hokuyo Sensor

Create a hokuyolidar2d object.

hokuyoObj = hokuyolidar2d;

Get the current motor speed of the Hokuyo sensor by using the getStatus function.

status = getStatus(hokuyoObj,"CurrentMotorSpeed")

status =

        2400

Input Arguments

hokuyoObj — Hokuyo lidar sensor connection

hokuyolidar2d object

Hokuyo lidar sensor connection, specified as a hokuyolidar2d object.

param — Hokuyo lidar sensor parameter

"CurrentMotorSpeed" | "LaserIlluminationState" | "MeasurementMode" | "SensorDiagnostic"

Hokuyo lidar sensor parameter, specified as one of these values:

• "CurrentMotorSpeed" — Get the current motor speed.

• "LaserIlluminationState" — Check if laser illumination is on or off.

• "MeasurementMode" — Get the measurement mode of the sensor.

• "SensorDiagnostic" — Check if sensor is working normally.

Output Arguments

status — Current status of specified sensor parameter

positive scalar | string scalar

Current status of the specified sensor parameter, returned as a positive scalar or string scalar. The specified param value determines what the function returns.

Specified param Value	Status
"CurrentMotorSpeed"	Current motor speed of the sensor in revolutions per minute (rpm), returned as a positive scalar.
"LaserIlluminationState"	State of laser illumination, returned as "ON" or "OFF".
"MeasurementMode"	Measurement mode of the sensor, returned as a string scalar.
"SensorDiagnostic"	Sensor diagnostic state, returned as a string scalar that indicates whether the sensor is working normally or not.
