Detailed Description

template<class T, class U>
class CDeviceBase< T, U >

Implements functionality common to all devices. Typically used as the base class for actual device adapters. In general, derived class do not override DeviceBase methods, but rather take advantage of using them to simplify development of specific drivers.

Starts a (TTL-triggered) sequence for the given property Should be overridden by the device adapter (when a sequence is implemented)

Parameters
name- property for which the sequence should be started

References CDeviceBase< T, U >::IsPropertySequenceable().

◆ StopPropertySequence()

template<class T , class U >
virtual int CDeviceBase< T, U >::StopPropertySequence ( const char *  name)
inlinevirtual

Stops a (TTL-triggered) sequence for the given property Should be overridden by the device adapter (when a sequence is implemented)

Parameters
name- property for which the sequence should be started

References CDeviceBase< T, U >::IsPropertySequenceable().

◆ UpdateProperty()

template<class T , class U >
int CDeviceBase< T, U >::UpdateProperty ( const char *  name)
inline

Update property value from the hardware.

◆ UpdateStatus()

template<class T , class U >
int CDeviceBase< T, U >::UpdateStatus ( )
inline

Refresh the entire state of the device and synchronize property values with the actual state of the hardware.

◆ UsesDelay()

template<class T , class U >
virtual bool CDeviceBase< T, U >::UsesDelay ( )
inlinevirtual

Signals if the device responds to different delay settings. Default device behavior is to ignore delays and use busy signals instead.

◆ WriteToComPort()

template<class T , class U >
int CDeviceBase< T, U >::WriteToComPort ( const char *  portLabel,
const unsigned char *  buf,
unsigned  bufLength 
)
inlineprotected

Sends an array of bytes to the com port.
