		uint8_t *	attrValue
	)

Sets a value of the characteristic which is identified by charIndex.

Parameters

charIndex	The index of the service characteristic of type cy_en_ble_bls_char_index_t. The valid values are, CY_BLE_BLS_BPM CY_BLE_BLS_ICP CY_BLE_BLS_BPF
attrSize	The size of the characteristic value attribute.

		uint8_t	attrSize,
		uint8_t *	attrValue
	)

Gets a characteristic value of the Blood Pressure service identified by charIndex.

Parameters

charIndex	The index of the service characteristic of type cy_en_ble_bls_char_index_t. The valid values are, CY_BLE_BLS_BPM CY_BLE_BLS_ICP CY_BLE_BLS_BPF
attrSize	The size of the characteristic value attribute.
attrValue	The pointer to the location where characteristic value data should be stored.

Returns

A return value of type cy_en_ble_api_result_t.

Error Codes	Description
CY_BLE_SUCCESS	The characteristic value was read successfully.
CY_BLE_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Validation of the input parameter failed.
CY_BLE_ERROR_GATT_DB_INVALID_ATTR_HANDLE	An optional characteristic is absent.

Cy_BLE_BLSS_GetCharacteristicDescriptor()

cy_en_ble_api_result_t Cy_BLE_BLSS_GetCharacteristicDescriptor	(	cy_stc_ble_conn_handle_t	connHandle,
		cy_en_ble_bls_char_index_t	charIndex,
		cy_en_ble_bls_descr_index_t	descrIndex,
		uint8_t	attrSize,
		uint8_t *	attrValue
	)

Gets a characteristic descriptor of a specified characteristic of the Blood Pressure service from the local GATT database.

Parameters

connHandle	The connection handle
charIndex	The index of the service characteristic of type cy_en_ble_bls_char_index_t. The valid values are, CY_BLE_BLS_BPM CY_BLE_BLS_ICP CY_BLE_BLS_BPF
descrIndex	The index of the service characteristic descriptor of type cy_en_ble_bls_descr_index_t. The valid value is, CY_BLE_BLS_CCCD
attrSize	The size of the characteristic descriptor attribute.
attrValue	The pointer to the location where the characteristic descriptor value data should be stored.

Returns

A return value of type cy_en_ble_api_result_t.

Error Codes	Description
CY_BLE_SUCCESS	The characteristic descriptor value was read successfully.
CY_BLE_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Validation of the input parameter failed.
CY_BLE_ERROR_GATT_DB_INVALID_ATTR_HANDLE	An optional descriptor is absent.

Cy_BLE_BLSS_SendNotification()

cy_en_ble_api_result_t Cy_BLE_BLSS_SendNotification	(	cy_stc_ble_conn_handle_t	connHandle,
		cy_en_ble_bls_char_index_t	charIndex,
		uint8_t	attrSize,
		uint8_t *	attrValue
	)

Sends a notification with the characteristic value, as specified by its charIndex, to the client device.

On enabling notification successfully for a service characteristic it sends out a 'Handle Value Notification' which results in CY_BLE_EVT_BLSC_NOTIFICATION event at the GATT Client's end.

Parameters

connHandle	The connection handle.
charIndex	The index of the service characteristic of type cy_en_ble_bls_char_index_t. The valid values are, CY_BLE_BLS_BPM CY_BLE_BLS_ICP CY_BLE_BLS_BPF
attrSize	The size of the characteristic value attribute.
attrValue	The pointer to the characteristic value data that should be sent to the client device.

Returns

A return value of type cy_en_ble_api_result_t.

Error Codes	Description
CY_BLE_SUCCESS	The request was handled successfully.
CY_BLE_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Validation of the input parameter failed.
CY_BLE_ERROR_INVALID_OPERATION	Operation is invalid for this characteristic.
CY_BLE_ERROR_GATT_DB_INVALID_ATTR_HANDLE	An optional characteristic is absent.
CY_BLE_ERROR_INVALID_STATE	Connection with the client is not established.
CY_BLE_ERROR_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_FAILED	Memory allocation failed.
CY_BLE_ERROR_NTF_DISABLED	Notification is not enabled by the client.

Cy_BLE_BLSS_SendIndication()

cy_en_ble_api_result_t Cy_BLE_BLSS_SendIndication	(	cy_stc_ble_conn_handle_t	connHandle,
		cy_en_ble_bls_char_index_t	charIndex,
		uint8_t	attrSize,
		uint8_t *	attrValue
	)

Sends an indication of the specified characteristic to the client device.

On enabling indication successfully it sends out a Handle Value Indication which results in a CY_BLE_EVT_BLSC_INDICATION or CY_BLE_EVT_GATTC_HANDLE_VALUE_IND (if the service-specific callback function is not registered) event at the GATT Client's end.

Parameters

connHandle	The connection handle.
charIndex	The index of the service characteristic of type cy_en_ble_bls_char_index_t. The valid values are, CY_BLE_BLS_BPM CY_BLE_BLS_ICP CY_BLE_BLS_BPF
attrSize	The size of the characteristic value attribute.
attrValue	The pointer to the characteristic value data that should be sent to the client device.

Returns

A return value of type cy_en_ble_api_result_t.

Error Codes	Description
CY_BLE_SUCCESS	The request was handled successfully.
CY_BLE_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Validation of the input parameter failed.
CY_BLE_ERROR_INVALID_OPERATION	Operation is invalid for this characteristic.
CY_BLE_ERROR_INVALID_STATE	Connection with the client is not established.
CY_BLE_ERROR_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_FAILED	Memory allocation failed.
CY_BLE_ERROR_IND_DISABLED	Indication is not enabled by the client.

Events

If execution is successful(return value = CY_BLE_SUCCESS), these events can appear:
If a BLS service-specific callback is registered (with Cy_BLE_BLS_RegisterAttrCallback):

• CY_BLE_EVT_BLSS_INDICATION_CONFIRMED - if the indication is successfully delivered to the peer device.

Otherwise (if a BLS service-specific callback is not registered):

• CY_BLE_EVT_GATTS_HANDLE_VALUE_CNF - if the indication is successfully delivered to the peer device.
