Detailed Description

base class for all actuator plugin classes

This class is one step further down the line from AddInBase. Actuator plugins must be derived from this class which is derived from AddInBase. In this class only the methods specific to actuator plugins are declared.

Member Function Documentation

void ito::AddInActuator::actuatorStatusChanged	(	QVector< int >	status,
		QVector< double >	actPosition
	)

signal

signal emitted if status or actual position of any axis has been changed.

Usually this signal can be sent using the method sendStatusUpdate(...). This method firstly checks if any slot has been connected to this signal and only fires the signal of at least one slot is connected (e.g. any docking-widget).

Usually the status and positions are taken from the member variables m_currentStatus and m_currentPos.

status is a vector with the length of the number of axis and each value contains a OR-combination of ito::tActuatorStatus actPosition is a vector with the length of the number of axis containing the actual axis positions, or length 0, if no actual positions are sended.

ito::RetVal ito::AddInActuator::getLastSignalledStates	(	QVector< int > &	status,
		QVector< double > &	currentPos,
		QVector< double > &	targetPos
	)

put the latest signalled states (current status, position and target position) to the given arguments.

"last signalled" signifies that whenever the signal targetChanged or actuatorStatusChanged is emitted, the current value of these states is stored and can be obtained by this method.

The call to this method is thread-safe.

Returns: ito::retOk if all states could be read, ito::retError if no status or position value has been reported up to now.

void ito::AddInActuator::initStatusAndPositions	(	int	numAxes,
		int	status,
		double	currentPosition = `0.0`,
		double	targetPosition = `0.0`,
		bool	sendUpdateSignals = `true`
	)

protected

initializes the current status, current position and target position vectors to the same size and the given start values

If sendUpdateSignals is true, the signals targetChanged and actuatorStatusChanged are emitted with the new size and content. In any case, the last signalled states are set to these initial values, too.

bool ito::AddInActuator::isInterrupted ( )

protected

returns interrupt flag (thread-safe)

This methods returns true if the interrupt flag has been set using setInterrupt. Once this method is called, the interrupt flag is reset.

Returns: true if interrupt flag has been set, else false.

See also: setInterrupt

void ito::AddInActuator::replaceStatus	(	int &	status,
		const int	existingFlag,
		const int	replaceFlag
	)

protected

changes the status bit of the given status value from one existing to a new value.

If the given existingFlag bitmask of the status-value is set, it is completely replaced by the flags set by replaceFlag.

Parameters

[in,out]	status	is the status variable which is changed.
[in]	existingFlag	is the bitmask which must be set and is replace by replaceFlag
[in]	replaceFlag	is the bitmask which is used for the replacement.

See also: tActuatorStatus

void ito::AddInActuator::replaceStatus	(	const QVector< int > &	axis,
		const int	existingFlag,
		const int	replaceFlag
	)

protected

changes the status flags of the status of the given axes from one existing to a new value

This method calls replaceStatus for the status of every given axis-number. The status is directly changed in the member variable m_currentStatus. For further information see the description of method replaceStatus (for one single status variable)

Parameters

[in]	axis	is the vector with axis-numbers.
[in]	existingFlag	is the bitmask which must be set and is replace by replaceFlag
[in]	replaceFlag	is the bitmask which is used for the replacement.

See also: replaceStatus

ito::RetVal ito::AddInActuator::requestStatusAndPosition	(	bool	sendActPosition,
		bool	sendTargetPos
	)

virtualslot

overload this function to update the current status and position values, followed by calling sendStatusUpdate and/or sendTargetUpdate

method invoked in order to force a re-emitation of the current status, the current positions (if desired) and the target positions (if desired)

This method is mainly invoked by a dock widget of the actuator such that the plugin re-emits the current values, that are then received by the dock widget.

Overload this method if you want to update the values before emitting them.

void ito::AddInActuator::resetInterrupt ( )

resets the interrupt flag (thread-safe)

call this method (even direct call from different thread is possible) if you want to reset the interrupt flag. This method is called if setOrigin, setPosAbs or setPosRel is called from Python since the interrupt flag can be set if a Python script is interrupted (depending on itom property).

void ito::AddInActuator::sendStatusUpdate ( const bool statusOnly = false )

protected

method emits the actuatorStatusChanged signal if any slot is connected to this signal.

The emitted values are the member variables m_currentStatus and m_currentPos (optional).

Parameters

[in] statusOnly indicates whether the status only should be emitted or the current position vector, too. In case of status only, the current position vector is empty, hence has a length of zero. This should be considered by the slot.

void ito::AddInActuator::sendTargetUpdate ( )

protected

method emits the targetChanged signal if any slot is connected to this signal.

The emitted values is the member variable m_targetPos

void ito::AddInActuator::setInterrupt ( )

set interrupt flag (thread-safe)

call this method (even direct call from different thread is possible) if you want to set the interrupt flag in order to stop a moving actuator. This flag has to be continously be checked in waitForDone using the method isInterrupted, since this method only sets the flag without initiating further actions.

See also: waitForDone, isInterrupted

void ito::AddInActuator::setStatus	(	int &	status,
		const int	newFlags,
		const int	keepMask = `0`
	)

protected

sets status flags of given status variable

Use this small inline method in order to set the status of given status variable. The status is an OR-combination of the enumeration ito::tActuatorStatus. You can assign a mask (keepMask). Bits whithin this mask will be unchanged.

Parameters

[in,out]	status	is the status variable which is changed.
[in]	newFlags	is an OR-combination of ito::tActuatorStatus which is assigned to status.
[in]	keepMask	is a mask whose bits are not deleted if they are not contained in newFlags.

See also: tActuatorStatus

void ito::AddInActuator::setStatus	(	const QVector< int > &	axis,
		const int	newFlags,
		const int	keepMask = `0`
	)

protected

sets status flags of the status of the given axes

This method calls setStatus for the status of every given axis-number. The status is directly changed in the member variable m_currentStatus. For further information see the description of method setStatus (for one single status variable)

Parameters

[in]	axis	is the vector with axis-numbers.
[in]	newFlags	is an OR-combination of ito::tActuatorStatus which is assigned to status.
[in]	keepMask	is a mask whose bits are not deleted if they are not contained in newFlags.

See also: setStatus

void ito::AddInActuator::targetChanged ( QVector< double > targetPositions )

signal

signal emitted if target position of any axis has changed.

Usually this signal can be sent using the method sendTargetUpdate(). This method firstly checks if any slot has been connected to this signal and only fires the signal of at least one slot is connected (e.g. any docking-widget).

Usually the target is taken from the member variable m_targetPos.

targetPositions is a vector with the length of the number of axis containing the desired target positions for ALL axis.

virtual ito::RetVal ito::AddInActuator::waitForDone	(	const int	timeoutMS = `-1`,
		const QVector< int >	axis = `QVector< int >()`,
		const int	flags = `0`
	)

protectedpure virtual

this method must be overwritten.

WaitForDone should wait for a moving motor until the indicated axes (or all axes of nothing is indicated) have stopped or a timeout or user interruption occurred. The timeout can be given in milliseconds, or -1 if no timeout should be considered. The flag-parameter can be used for your own purpose.
