Sets whether to use a ratiometric or fixed reference on the analog inputs.

Namespace:  Phidgets
Assembly:  Phidget21.NET (in Phidget21.NET.dll) Version: 2.1.9.34

Syntax

C#
public bool Ratiometric { get; set; }
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Property Ratiometric As Boolean
Visual C++
public:
property bool Ratiometric {
	bool get ();
	void set (bool value);
}

Remarks

Most sensors use the ratiometric model, where the returned value will be between 0 and +Vdd, where Vdd is the voltage supplied to the sensor - approximately 5v.

Some sensors output a specific voltage regardless of their supply voltage, and for these we provide a non-ratiometric fixed +5v reference.

The default value for this is ratiometric (true).

This only applies to boards with analog sensor inputs

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Phidgets..::.PhidgetExceptionIf ratiometric is not supported, or the Phidget is not opened and attached.
