Detailed Description

Class from which actual plugin drivers are derived; derived from asynNDArrayDriver.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ NDPluginDriver()

NDPluginDriver::NDPluginDriver ( const char *  portName,
int  queueSize,
int  blockingCallbacks,
const char *  NDArrayPort,
int  NDArrayAddr,
int  maxAddr,
int  maxBuffers,
size_t  maxMemory,
int  interfaceMask,
int  interruptMask,
int  asynFlags,
int  autoConnect,
int  priority,
int  stackSize,
int  maxThreads,
bool  compressionAware = false 
)

Constructor for NDPluginDriver; most parameters are simply passed to asynNDArrayDriver::asynNDArrayDriver.

After calling the base class constructor this method creates a thread to execute the NDArray callbacks, and sets reasonable default values for all of the parameters defined in NDPluginDriver.h.

Parameters
[in]portNameThe name of the asyn port driver to be created.
[in]queueSizeThe number of NDArrays that the input queue for this plugin can hold when NDPluginDriverBlockingCallbacks=0. Larger queues can decrease the number of dropped arrays, at the expense of more NDArray buffers being allocated from the underlying driver's NDArrayPool.
[in]blockingCallbacksInitial setting for the NDPluginDriverBlockingCallbacks flag. 0=callbacks are queued and executed by the callback thread; 1 callbacks execute in the thread of the driver doing the callbacks.
[in]NDArrayPortName of asyn port driver for initial source of NDArray callbacks.
[in]NDArrayAddrasyn port driver address for initial source of NDArray callbacks.
[in]maxAddrThe maximum number of asyn addr addresses this driver supports. 1 is minimum.
[in]maxBuffersThe maximum number of NDArray buffers that the NDArrayPool for this driver is allowed to allocate. Set this to 0 to allow an unlimited number of buffers.
[in]maxMemoryThe maximum amount of memory that the NDArrayPool for this driver is allowed to allocate. Set this to 0 to allow an unlimited amount of memory.
[in]interfaceMaskBit mask defining the asyn interfaces that this driver supports.
[in]interruptMaskBit mask definining the asyn interfaces that can generate interrupts (callbacks)
[in]asynFlagsFlags when creating the asyn port driver; includes ASYN_CANBLOCK and ASYN_MULTIDEVICE.
[in]autoConnectThe autoConnect flag for the asyn port driver.
[in]priorityThe thread priority for the asyn port driver thread if ASYN_CANBLOCK is set in asynFlags. This value should also be used for any other threads this object creates.
[in]stackSizeThe stack size for the asyn port driver thread if ASYN_CANBLOCK is set in asynFlags. This value should also be used for any other threads this object creates.
[in]maxThreadsThe maximum number of threads this plugin is allowed to use.
[in]compressionAwaretrue if the plugin can handle compressed input arrays, false if not.

Member Function Documentation

◆ beginProcessCallbacks()

void NDPluginDriver::beginProcessCallbacks ( NDArray pArray)
protectedvirtual

Method that is normally called at the beginning of the processCallbacks method in derived classes.

Parameters
[in]pArrayThe NDArray from the callback.

This method takes care of some bookkeeping for callbacks, updating parameters from data in the class and in the NDArray. It does asynInt32Array callbacks for the dimensions array if the dimensions of the NDArray data have changed.

◆ connectToArrayPort()

asynStatus NDPluginDriver::connectToArrayPort ( void  )
protectedvirtual

Connect this plugin to an NDArray port driver; disconnect from any existing driver first, register for callbacks if enabled.

Reimplemented in NDPluginGather.

◆ driverCallback()

void NDPluginDriver::driverCallback ( asynUser *  pasynUser,
void *  genericPointer 
)
virtual

Method that is called from the driver with a new NDArray.

It calls the processCallbacks function, which typically is implemented in the derived class. It can either do the callbacks directly (if NDPluginDriverBlockingCallbacks=1) or by queueing the arrays to be processed by a background task (if NDPluginDriverBlockingCallbacks=0). In the latter case arrays can be dropped if the queue is full. This method should really be private, but it must be called from a C-linkage callback function, so it must be public.

Parameters
[in]pasynUserThe pasynUser from the asyn client.
[in]genericPointerThe pointer to the NDArray

◆ endProcessCallbacks()

asynStatus NDPluginDriver::endProcessCallbacks ( NDArray pArray,
bool  copyArray = false,
bool  readAttributes = true 
)
protectedvirtual

Method that is normally called at the end of the processCallbacks()) method in derived classes.

Parameters
[in]pArrayThe NDArray from the callback.
[in]copyArrayThis flag should be true if pArray is the original array passed to processCallbacks(). It must be false if the derived class if pArray is a new NDArray that processCallbacks() created
[in]readAttributesThis flag must be true if the derived class has not yet called readAttributes() for pArray.

This method does NDArray callbacks to downstream plugins if NDArrayCallbacks is true and SortMode is Unsorted. If SortMode is sorted it inserts the NDArray into the std::multilist for callbacks in SortThread(). It keeps track of DisorderedArrays and DroppedOutputArrays. It caches the most recent NDArray in pArrays[0].

◆ processCallbacks()

virtual void NDPluginDriver::processCallbacks ( NDArray pArray)

◆ readInt32Array()

asynStatus NDPluginDriver::readInt32Array ( asynUser *  pasynUser,
epicsInt32 *  value,
size_t  nElements,
size_t *  nIn 
)
virtual

Called when asyn clients call pasynInt32Array->read().

Returns the value of the array dimensions for the last NDArray.

Parameters
[in]pasynUserpasynUser structure that encodes the reason and address.
[in]valuePointer to the array to read.
[in]nElementsNumber of elements to read.
[out]nInNumber of elements actually read.

Reimplemented in NDPluginStdArrays.

◆ run()

void NDPluginDriver::run ( void  )
virtual

Starts the thread that receives NDArrays from the epicsMessageQueue.

◆ setArrayInterrupt()

asynStatus NDPluginDriver::setArrayInterrupt ( int  enableCallbacks)
protectedvirtual

Register or unregister to receive asynGenericPointer (NDArray) callbacks from the driver.

Note: this function must be called with the lock released, otherwise a deadlock can occur in the call to cancelInterruptUser.

Parameters
[in]enableCallbacks1 to enable callbacks, 0 to disable callbacks

Reimplemented in NDPluginGather.

◆ sortingTask()

void NDPluginDriver::sortingTask ( )

Method runs as a separate thread, periodically doing NDArray callbacks to downstream plugins.

This thread is used when SortMode=1. This method should really be private, but it must be called from a C-linkage callback function, so it must be public.

◆ start()

asynStatus NDPluginDriver::start ( void  )
virtual

Starts the plugin threads.

This method must be called after the derived class object is fully constructed.

◆ throttled()

bool NDPluginDriver::throttled ( NDArray pArray)
protected

◆ writeFloat64()

asynStatus NDPluginDriver::writeFloat64 ( asynUser *  pasynUser,
epicsFloat64  value 
)
virtual

Called when asyn clients call pasynFloat64->write().

This function performs actions for NDPluginDriverMaxByteRate. For all parameters it sets the value in the parameter library and calls any registered callbacks..

Parameters
[in]pasynUserpasynUser structure that encodes the reason and address.
[in]valueValue to write.

Reimplemented in ffmpegFile, NDPluginTimeSeries, and NDPluginStats.

◆ writeInt32()

asynStatus NDPluginDriver::writeInt32 ( asynUser *  pasynUser,
epicsInt32  value 
)
virtual

Called when asyn clients call pasynInt32->write().

This function performs actions for some parameters, including NDPluginDriverEnableCallbacks and NDPluginDriverArrayAddr. For all parameters it sets the value in the parameter library and calls any registered callbacks..

Parameters

[in]valueValue to write.

Reimplemented from asynNDArrayDriver.

Reimplemented in NDPosPlugin, NDPluginTimeSeries, NDPluginStats, NDPluginROIStat, NDPluginROI, NDPluginProcess, NDPluginOverlay, NDPluginFile, NDPluginCodec, NDPluginCircularBuff, NDPluginAttrPlot, NDPluginAttribute, and NDFileHDF5.

◆ writeOctet()

asynStatus NDPluginDriver::writeOctet ( asynUser *  pasynUser,
const char *  value,
size_t  nChars,
size_t *  nActual 
)
virtual

Called when asyn clients call pasynOctet->write().

This function performs actions for some parameters, including NDPluginDriverArrayPort. For all parameters it sets the value in the parameter library and calls any registered callbacks..

Parameters
[in]pasynUserpasynUser structure that encodes the reason and address.
[in]valueAddress of the string to write.
[in]nCharsNumber of characters to write.
[out]nActualNumber of characters actually written.
