Detailed Description

Class to support parameter library (also called parameter list); set and get values indexed by parameter number (pasynUser->reason) and do asyn callbacks when parameters change.

The parameter class supports 3 types of parameters: int, double and dynamic-length strings.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

paramList::paramList	(	int	startVal,
		int	nVals,
		asynStandardInterfaces *	pasynInterfaces
	)

Constructor for paramList class.

Parameters:

[in]	startVal	The first index number for this parameter list, typically 0.
[in]	nVals	Number of parameters in the list.
[in]	pasynInterfaces	Pointer to asynStandardInterfaces structure, used for callbacks

paramList::~paramList

(

)

Destructor for paramList class; frees resources allocated in constructor.

Member Function Documentation

asynStatus paramList::setInteger	(	int	index,
		int	value
	)

Sets the value for an integer in the parameter library.

Parameters:

[in]	index	The parameter number
[out]	value	Value to set.

Returns:

Returns asynError if the index is not valid.

asynStatus paramList::setDouble	(	int	index,
		double	value
	)

Sets the value for a double in the parameter library.

Parameters:

[in]	index	The parameter number
[out]	value	Value to set.

Returns:

Returns asynError if the index is not valid.

asynStatus paramList::setString	(	int	index,
		const char *	value
	)

Sets the value for a string in the parameter library.

Parameters:

[in]	index	The parameter number
[out]	value	Address of value to set.

Returns:

Returns asynError if the index is not valid.

asynStatus paramList::getInteger	(	int	index,
		int *	value
	)

Returns the value for an integer from the parameter library.

Parameters:

[in]	index	The parameter number
[out]	value	Address of value to get.

Returns:

Returns asynError if the index is not valid or if the parameter is not an integer

asynStatus paramList::getDouble	(	int	index,
		double *	value
	)

Returns the value for a double from the parameter library.

Parameters:

[in]	index	The parameter number
[out]	value	Address of value to get.

Returns:

Returns asynError if the index is not valid or if the parameter is not a double

asynStatus paramList::getString	(	int	index,
		int	maxChars,
		char *	value
	)

Returns the value for a string from the parameter library.

Parameters:

[in]	index	The parameter number
[in]	maxChars	Maximum number of characters to return.
[out]	value	Address of value to get.

Returns:

Returns asynError if the index is not valid or if the parameter is not a string

asynStatus paramList::callCallbacks

(

int

addr

)

Calls the registered asyn callback functions for all clients for any parameters that have changed since the last time this function was called.

Parameters:

[in]

addr

A client will be called if addr matches the asyn address registered for that client.

TEMPORARY FIX. Dont do anything if interruptAccept=0. There is now a thread that will do all callbacks once when interruptAccept goes to 1. THIS SHOULD BE A TEMPORARY FIX until EPICS supports PINI after interruptAccept, which will then be used for input records that need callbacks after output records that also have PINI and that could affect them.

asynStatus paramList::callCallbacks

(

)

void paramList::report

(

)

Prints the contents of paramList.

Prints the number of parameters in the list, and the data type, index and value of each parameter.
