Syntax frSetMode( int channel, int channelMask, dword mode );

Function This function initializes the FlexRay bus drivers. Essentially, it defines whether the
drivers are set to normal mode or sleep mode.

Note

If the transceivers had been disabled (sleep mode), and a wake-up

pattern is received (see on frPocState), then the transceivers must
explicitly be activated again!
Parameters channel
FlexRay channel (cluster number).
channelMask
Determines which bus driver is being programmed.
Value:

1 Channel A
2 Channel B
3 Channel A+B
mode
Defines the bus driver state:

Mode Meaning
0x0000 Normal mode, when starting the Communication Controller a
Wakeup will be sent if this is defined in the hardware configuration
dialog.
0x0001 Sleep mode
0x0002 Normal mode, when starting the Communication Controller no
Wakeup will be sent.

Example 1

The following CAPL program deactivates or activates the physical drivers according
to key presses.
on key 'd'
{
// suspend physical layers:
frSetMode(%CHANNEL%, 3, 1);
Write("FlexRay physical layers of channel %d are offline (sleep
mode).", %CHANNEL%);
}
on key 'a'
{
// activate physical layers (with optional wake-up):

frSetMode(%CHANNEL%, 3, 0);
Write("FlexRay physical layers of channel %d are going online (with
optional wakeup to send).", %CHANNEL%);
}
on key 'q'
{
// activate physical layers without any wake-up:
frSetMode(%CHANNEL%, 3, 2);
Write("FlexRay physical layers of channel %d are going online.", %
CHANNEL%);
}
Example 2

The following CAPL program deactivates or activates the physical drivers according
to the clusters synchronisation state and reception of a wake-up symbol.
