CableProbe

A cable probe.

Example

app = cf.GetApplication()
project = app:OpenFile(FEKO_HOME..[[/shared/Resources/Automation/Cables.cfx]])

    -- Get an existing 'CableProbe'

cableProbe = project.Cables.Harnesses["CableHarness1"].Probes["CableProbe1"]

    -- Change the 'CableProbe' to measure both current and voltage

cableProbe.ProbeType = cf.Enums.CableProbeTypeEnum.CurrentAndVoltage

    -- Change the 'CableProbe' to be positioned at a specified distance

properties = {}
properties.LocationType = cf.Enums.CableProbeLocationTypeEnum.DistanceOnPath
properties.PositionDistance = 3
cableProbe:SetProperties(properties)

Property List

Label
The object label. (Read/Write string)
LocationType
The location option for the probe. (Read/Write CableProbeLocationTypeEnum)
Path
The cable path that the probe is on. (Read/Write CablePath)
PositionDistance
The distance along the cable path if the LocationType is DistanceOnPath. (Read/Write Expression)
PositionPercentage
The percentage along the cable path if the LocationType is PercentageOnPath. (Read/Write Expression)
ProbeType
The type of the probe. (Read/Write CableProbeTypeEnum)
Type
The object type string. (Read only string)

Method List

Delete ()
Deletes the cable probe from the harness.
GetProperties ()
Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
SetProperties (properties table)
Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.

Static Function List

GetDefaultProperties ()
Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object. (Returns a table object.)
