CIM_IRQ

CIM IRQ

The CIM_IRQ class described in Properties Table below , contains IRQ information. An IRQ is a signal that data is about to be sent to or received by a peripheral device. The signal travels by an IRQ line to the microprocessor. Each peripheral connection must be assigned an IRQ number. For example, the first serial port in the computer (COM1) is assigned to IRQ4 by default.

Table 1. CIM_IRQ Properties. The following table describes the property, description, and data type details for CIM IRQ.

IRQNumberIdentifies the interrupt request number.uint32
Availability Indicates the availability of the IRQ. Values for the Availability property are as follows:

1- Other

2- Unknown

3- Available

4 - In use/not available

5- In use and available

uint16
TriggerLevel Indicates if the interrupt is triggered by the hardware signal going high or low. Values for the TriggerLevel property are as follows:

1- Other

2- Unknown

3- Active low

4- Active high

uint16
TriggerType Indicates if edge (value=4) or level triggered (value=3) interrupts occur.

1- Other

2- Unknown

3- Level

4- Edge

uint16
Shareable Indicates if the IRQ can be shared. A value of TRUE indicates that the IRQ can be shared. Boolean
HardwareIndicates if the interrupt is hardware- or software-based. (A value of TRUE indicates that the interrupt is hardware based.) On a personal computer, a hardware IRQ is a physical wire to a programmable interrupt controller (PIC) chip set through which the microprocessor can be notified of time critical events. Some IRQ lines are reserved for standard devices such as the keyboard, diskette drive, and the system clock. A software interrupt is a programmatic mechanism to allow an application to get the attention of the processor. Boolean
