float * RoboticsAnimatSim::Robotics::RobotInterfaces::RbLANWirelessInterface::GetDataPointer ( const std::string & strDataType )

virtual

Returns a float pointer to a data item of interest in this object.

This is a generic method used to get a pointer to data variable of interest. It is used by a variety of systems in the simulation. The most prominent are the data charting and stimulus classes. Within this method we associate a variable with a string name. By passing in the name of the data type we are interested in we can recieve back a float pointer to that data type. We can use that to read or set the data item in other classes. For example, the data charting system gets the pointer and then each time it needs to log a data point it reads the value into an array.

Parameters

strDataType name of the data item for which we are looking.

Returns: float pointer of the data item. If not found then it throws an exception.

Exceptions

If	DataType is not found.

Here is the call graph for this function:

void RoboticsAnimatSim::Robotics::RobotInterfaces::RbLANWirelessInterface::Initialize ( )

virtual

Initializes this object.

After an object is loaded in it must be initialized before it can be used. This allows the object to retrieve any pointers or setup memory that it will need during execution. Each object is responsible for initializing any of its child objects, so you simply need to call this method on the containing class to init all child objects. It also calls VerifySystemPointers to make sure that the system pointers have been setup correctly.

void RoboticsAnimatSim::Robotics::RobotInterfaces::RbLANWirelessInterface::Load ( StdUtils::CStdXml & oXml )

virtual

Loads the item using an XML data packet.

This method is responsible for loading the structure from a XMl configuration file. You should call this method even in your overriden function becuase it loads all of the base properties for this object like ID and Name. It also includes this object in the simulators AddToObjectList so that the simulator knows about this object when you do a FindObject call. If you do not call this base method then it is up to you to add your item to the simulators list of objects.

Parameters

[in,out] oXml The CStdXml xml data packet to load.

bool RoboticsAnimatSim::Robotics::RobotInterfaces::RbLANWirelessInterface::SetData	(	const std::string &	strDataType,
		const std::string &	strValue,
		bool	bThrowError = `true`
	)

virtual

Set a variable based on a string data type name.

This is a generic method that can be used to set any variable in an AnimatBase object by specifying the name of the variable and a string representation of that data. The GUI uses this method to set data into variables in the simulation when the user changes them in the UI. The value string can be as simple as a float or int, or as complex as an xml packet. It is the developers responsibilty to know what type of data is needed and to process it accordingly.

Parameters

strDataType	string name of the data type to set.
strValue	The string value of the data. It is up to the developer to determine what this should be. For example, in most cases it is simply a float and you just have to convert it to a float and make the appropriate mutator method call. However, it can be any type of string, including an entire xml packet. It is the developers responsibility to know how to set and process the data as required.
bThrowError	true to throw error if there is a problem. If false then it will not return an error, just return false.

Returns: true if it succeeds, false if it fails.

Here is the call graph for this function:

void RoboticsAnimatSim::Robotics::RobotInterfaces::RbLANWirelessInterface::StepSimulation ( )

virtual

Step the simulation for this object.

This is called on an object each time it is stepped in the simulation. this is where its simulation code is processed. However, StepSimulation is not necessarily called every single time that the simulation as a whole is stepped. A good example of this is that neural modules can have different integration time steps. So a firing rate module may have a DT of 0.5 ms, while an integrate and fire model may have one of 0.1 ms. So the firing rate module would only get its StepSimulation method called every 5th time that the other module was called. This is all handed in the StepSimulation method of the Simulator and NervousSystem.
