Public Slots

virtual ito::RetVal startDevice (ItomSharedSemaphore *waitCond)
 method to start the device - i.e. get ready to record data
 
virtual ito::RetVal stopDevice (ItomSharedSemaphore *waitCond)
 method to stop the device, it is no longer possible to acquire data
 
virtual ito::RetVal acquire (const int trigger, ItomSharedSemaphore *waitCond=NULL)
 freeze the current data and prepare it for retrieval
 
virtual ito::RetVal stop (ItomSharedSemaphore *waitCond=NULL)
 stops a continuous acquisition (usually only required by AD/DA converters). This method has not to be implemented in every plugin. New from itom.AddIn.Interface/4.0.0 on
 
virtual ito::RetVal getVal (void *data, ItomSharedSemaphore *waitCond=NULL)
 read data from the device into a dataObject (which is passed as void pointer actually). Output is a shallow-copy to the grabber internal buffer-object.
 
virtual ito::RetVal getVal (QSharedPointer< char > data, QSharedPointer< int > length, ItomSharedSemaphore *waitCond=NULL)
 read data from the device into a "raw data pointer" (in this case a char * is passed, pointing to the start of the preallocated memory)
 
virtual ito::RetVal copyVal (void *dObj, ItomSharedSemaphore *waitCond)
 read data from the device into a dataObject (which is passed as void pointer actually). Output is a deep-copy to the grabber internal object.
 
virtual ito::RetVal setVal (const char *data, const int length, ItomSharedSemaphore *waitCond=NULL)
 write data, e.g. to the DA part of an ADDA card
 
ito::RetVal enableAutoGrabbing (ItomSharedSemaphore *waitCond=NULL)
 enables the timer for auto grabbing (live image), if any live image has signed on (usually this method must not be overwritten)
 
ito::RetVal disableAutoGrabbing (ItomSharedSemaphore *waitCond=NULL)
 disables the timer for auto grabbing (live image) (usually this method must not be overwritten)
 
ito::RetVal setAutoGrabbingInterval (QSharedPointer< int > interval, ItomSharedSemaphore *waitCond=NULL)
 sets a new interval for the auto-grabbing timer (in ms). If interval <= 0 is passed, nothing is changed, but the current interval is returned. This method does not enable or disable the timer.
 
ito::RetVal startDeviceAndRegisterListener (QObject *obj, ItomSharedSemaphore *waitCond=NULL)
 starts device and registers obj as listener (live image). This listener must have a slot void setSource(QSharedPointer<ito::DataObject>, ItomSaredSemaphore).
 
ito::RetVal stopDeviceAndUnregisterListener (QObject *obj, ItomSharedSemaphore *waitCond=NULL)
 stops device and unregisters obj (live image).

Detailed Description

base class for all dataIO plugin classes

This class is one step further down the line from AddInBase. DataIO plugins must be derived from this class which is derived from AddInBase. In this class only the methods specific to dataIO plugins are declared. A dataIO device (e.g. a framegrabber / camera) should use this sequence to operate:

  1. startDevice - device is now ready to acquire data
  2. acquire - now a data set is freezed and prepared for retrieval
  3. getVal - method to retrieve the previously freezed data (shallow copy, if you want to work with this data, make a deep copy)
  4. stopDevice - acquisition is stopped, device is no longer ready to record data

the steps 2. and 3. can be repeated until the desired number of "frames" has been read. The device should be only started once before the first acquisition of a sequence and stop only at their end. The device itself MUST NOT allocate memory for the data to be stored. This HAS TO BE DONE in the main program or in the calling method!

If a live image is listening this device, its source node calls startDeviceAndRegisterListener. If the autoGrabbing-flag is enabled, a timer will be started, which triggers the method 'timerEvent' (should be implemented by any camera). If this flag is disabled, the live image is registered, but no images will be regularly acquired. In this case, only manually taken images will be passed to any registered source node. If the flag is enabled again, the timer is restarted and every live image will automatically get new images. This is done by invoking the slot 'setSource' of every registered source node.

Every camera will only return shallow copies of its internal image both to the live image and to the user. This image can be read by everybody. If the user wants to change values in this image, he should make a deep copy first.

int ito::AddInDataIO::m_timerID
