Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Deprecated Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`int`	`getMode()`	Get the current operating mode of the sensor
`int`	`getType()`	Get the current type setting.
`boolean`	`setMode(int mode)`	Set the current operating mode for the sensor attached to the port.
`boolean`	`setType(int type)`	Set the operating type for the attached sensor.
`boolean`	`setTypeAndMode(int type, int mode)`	Deprecated.

- Method Detail
  - getMode
```
int getMode()
```
    Get the current operating mode of the sensor
    
    Returns:
    
    the current mode
  - getType
```
int getType()
```
    Get the current type setting. Note that types are typically used to control the operation of Legacy and i2c sensors. They are normally not used for EV3 sensors.
    
    Returns:
    
    the current sensor type
  - setMode
```
boolean setMode(int mode)
```
    Set the current operating mode for the sensor attached to the port.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mode - the new mode
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the mode has been accepted
  - setType
```
boolean setType(int type)
```
    Set the operating type for the attached sensor. Normally type setting is only used with legacy sensors and for i2c devices (to set the speed and operating voltage). It is not normally used with EV3 sensors.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type -
    
    Returns:
    
    true if type accepted
  - setTypeAndMode
```
@Deprecated
boolean setTypeAndMode(int type,
                       int mode)
```
    Deprecated.
