Detailed Description
An interface to access the dataflow of a CControlTask object.
Data ports are exported as assignable expressions (Set/Get). Buffer ports are exported as buffer channels.

Member Function Documentation
| CChannelElement RTT::corba::CDataFlowInterface::buildChannelInput | ( | in string | output_port, |
| inout CConnPolicy | policy | ||
| ) | |||
| raises | ( | CNoCorbaTransport, | |
| CNoSuchPortException, | |||
| CInvalidArgument | |||
| ) | |||
Use this to read from an output port with the given policy.
Some protocols may adjust the policy, or pass additional information into the policy, such as the name of the newly created connection.
| CChannelElement RTT::corba::CDataFlowInterface::buildChannelOutput | ( | in string | input_port, |
| inout CConnPolicy | policy | ||
| ) | |||
| raises | ( | CNoCorbaTransport, | |
| CNoSuchPortException, | |||
| CInvalidArgument | |||
| ) | |||
Use this to write to an input port with the given policy.
Some protocols may adjust the policy, or pass additional information into the policy, such as the name of the newly created connection.
The returned channel element will not be functional until channelReady() has been called for it
| boolean RTT::corba::CDataFlowInterface::createConnection | ( | in string | local_port, |
| in CDataFlowInterface | remote_ports, | ||
| in string | remote_port, | ||
| inout CConnPolicy | policy | ||
| ) | |||
| raises | ( | CNoSuchPortException | |
| ) | |||
Connect the given named port to the given remote port.
Use this method to connect two Orocos data flow ports.
The local port needs to be the output, while the remote port is the input. In case you only want to write a port without using this function, use buildChannelOutput. For only reading a port, use buildChannelInput.
This method combines both buildChannelOutput() and buildChannelInput() and is generally better in setting up and checking a data flow connection between two ports than the separate methods.
This method will call the remote_ports interface back to orchestrate the connection building.

| boolean RTT::corba::CDataFlowInterface::createSharedConnection | ( | in string | input_port, |
| inout CConnPolicy | policy | ||
| ) | |||
| raises | ( | CNoSuchPortException, | |

Use this to connect a port to an existing connection that can be looked up by the given policy.

| inout CConnPolicy | policy | ||
| ) | |||

Create an out-of-band data stream with a given policy.
You may specify a name_id in the policy object, or if left empty, a name will be chosen for you.
| void RTT::corba::CDataFlowInterface::disconnectPort | ( | in string | port_name | ) | |
| raises | ( | CNoSuchPortException | |||
| ) | |||||
Disconnects this port from all connections it is part of.

| string RTT::corba::CDataFlowInterface::getDataType | ( | in string | port_name | ) | |
| raises | ( | CNoSuchPortException | |||
| ) | |||||
Returns the data type for the given port.
| CPortDescriptions RTT::corba::CDataFlowInterface::getPortDescriptions | ( | ) |
Returns the names of the ports of this component.
| CPortNames RTT::corba::CDataFlowInterface::getPorts | ( | ) |
Returns the names of the ports of this component.
| CPortType RTT::corba::CDataFlowInterface::getPortType | ( | in string | port_name | ) | |
| raises | ( | CNoSuchPortException | |||
| ) | |||||
Returns the type of the given port.
| boolean RTT::corba::CDataFlowInterface::isConnected | ( | in string | port_name | ) | |
| raises | ( | CNoSuchPortException | |||
| ) | |||||
Check if the given port is already connected to something.
| boolean RTT::corba::CDataFlowInterface::removeConnection | ( | in string | local_port, |
| in CDataFlowInterface | remote_ports, | ||
| in string | remote_port | ||
| ) | |||
| raises | ( | CNoSuchPortException | |
| ) | |||
Removes the specified connection created with createConnection.
| void RTT::corba::CDataFlowInterface::removeStream | ( | in string | local_port, |
| in string | stream_name | ||
| ) | |||
| raises | ( | CNoSuchPortException | |
| ) | |||
Removes a stream added with createStream.
- Parameters
-
local_port The port to remove the stream from. stream_name The name_id returned in the CConnPolicy object after the call to createStream.
