Member Function Documentation

bool AnimatSim::Robotics::RemoteControl::AddItem	(	const std::string &	strItemType,
		const std::string &	strXml,
		bool	bThrowError = `true`,
		bool	bDoNotInit = `false`
	)

virtual

Adds a new object to this parent.

Generic method to add a new child item to this parent by specifying a string item type descriptor and an xml packet that can be used to load in the new object. The GUI uses this method to create new items that were added with the user interface. The item type lets the method determine what type of item is being created, like synapse, neuron, body part, etc.. It then gets the modulename, classname, and type from the xml and calls CreateObject to create the appropriate type of object. Then it passes in the xml packet to the new objects load method and does any needed initialization and adds it to the parent.

Parameters

strItemType	String descriptor of the type of item that is being created.
strXml	XML packet that is used to create and load the new item.
bThrowError	If true then throw an error if there is a problem, otherwise return false.

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

float * AnimatSim::Robotics::RemoteControl::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.

Author: dcofer

Date: 2/22/2011

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.

void AnimatSim::Robotics::RemoteControl::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.

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.

Author: dcofer

Date: 2/22/2011

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.

void AnimatSim::Robotics::RemoteControl::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.
