Detailed Description

Base class for NDArray file writing plugins; actual file writing plugins inherit from this class.

This class handles the logic of single file per image, capture into buffer or streaming multiple images to a single file. Derived classes must implement the 4 pure virtual functions: openFile, readFile, writeFile and closeFile.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

NDPluginFile::NDPluginFile ( const char *  portName,
int  queueSize,
int  blockingCallbacks,
const char *  NDArrayPort,
int  NDArrayAddr,
int  maxAddr,
int  numParams,
int  maxBuffers,
size_t  maxMemory,
int  interfaceMask,
int  interruptMask,
int  asynFlags,
int  autoConnect,
int  priority,
int  stackSize 
)

Constructor for NDPluginFile; all parameters are simply passed to NDPluginDriver::NDPluginDriver.

Parameters:
[in] portName The name of the asyn port driver to be created.
[in] queueSize The 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] blockingCallbacks Initial 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] NDArrayPort Name of asyn port driver for initial source of NDArray callbacks.
[in] NDArrayAddr asyn port driver address for initial source of NDArray callbacks.
[in] maxAddr The maximum number of asyn addr addresses this driver supports. 1 is minimum.
[in] numParams The number of parameters supported by the derived class calling this constructor.
[in] maxBuffers The maximum number of NDArray buffers that the NDArrayPool for this driver is allowed to allocate. Set this to -1 to allow an unlimited number of buffers.
[in] maxMemory The maximum amount of memory that the NDArrayPool for this driver is allowed to allocate. Set this to -1 to allow an unlimited amount of memory.
[in] interfaceMask Bit mask defining the asyn interfaces that this driver supports.
[in] interruptMask Bit mask definining the asyn interfaces that can generate interrupts (callbacks)
[in] asynFlags Flags when creating the asyn port driver; includes ASYN_CANBLOCK and ASYN_MULTIDEVICE.
[in] autoConnect The autoConnect flag for the asyn port driver.
[in] priority The thread priority for the asyn port driver thread if ASYN_CANBLOCK is set in asynFlags.
[in] stackSize The stack size for the asyn port driver thread if ASYN_CANBLOCK is set in asynFlags.


Member Function Documentation

virtual asynStatus NDPluginFile::closeFile (  )  [pure virtual]

Close the file opened with NDPluginFile::openFile; pure virtual function that must be implemented by derived classes.

Implemented in NDFileHDF5, NDFileJPEG, NDFileMagick, NDFileNetCDF, NDFileNexus, and NDFileTIFF.

virtual asynStatus NDPluginFile::openFile ( const char *  fileName,
NDFileOpenMode_t  openMode,
NDArray pArray 
) [pure virtual]

Open a file; pure virtual function that must be implemented by derived classes.

Parameters:
[in] fileName Absolute path name of the file to open.
[in] openMode Bit mask with one of the access mode bits NDFileModeRead, NDFileModeWrite. NDFileModeAppend. May also have the bit NDFileModeMultiple set if the file is to be opened to write or read multiple NDArrays into a single file.
[in] pArray Pointer to an NDArray; this array does not contain data to be written or read. Rather it can be used to determine the header information and data structure for the file. It is guaranteed that NDArrays pass to NDPluginFile::writeFile or NDPluginFile::readFile will have the same data type, data dimensions and attributes as this array.

Implemented in NDFileHDF5, NDFileJPEG, NDFileMagick, NDFileNetCDF, NDFileNexus, and NDFileTIFF.

void NDPluginFile::processCallbacks ( NDArray pArray  )  [virtual]

Callback function that is called by the NDArray driver with new NDArray data.

Saves a single file if NDFileWriteMode=NDFileModeSingle and NDAutoSave=1. Stores array in a capture buffer if NDFileWriteMode=NDFileModeCapture and NDFileCapture=1. Appends data to an open file if NDFileWriteMode=NDFileModeStream and NDFileCapture=1. In capture or stream mode if the desired number of arrays has been saved (NDFileNumCaptured=NDFileNumCapture) then it stops capture or streaming.

Parameters:
[in] pArray The NDArray from the callback.

Reimplemented from NDPluginDriver.

virtual asynStatus NDPluginFile::readFile ( NDArray **  pArray  )  [pure virtual]

Read NDArray data from a file; pure virtual function that must be implemented by derived classes.

Parameters:
[in] pArray Pointer to the address of an NDArray to read the data into.

Implemented in NDFileHDF5, NDFileJPEG, NDFileMagick, NDFileNetCDF, NDFileNexus, and NDFileTIFF.

virtual asynStatus NDPluginFile::writeFile ( NDArray pArray  )  [pure virtual]

Write NDArray data to a file; pure virtual function that must be implemented by derived classes.

Parameters:
[in] pArray Pointer to an NDArray to write to the file. This function can be called multiple times between the call to openFile and closeFile if the class set supportsMultipleArrays=1 and NDFileModeMultiple was set in openMode in the call to NDPluginFile::openFile.

Implemented in NDFileHDF5, NDFileJPEG, NDFileMagick, NDFileNetCDF, NDFileNexus, and NDFileTIFF.

asynStatus NDPluginFile::writeInt32 ( asynUser *  pasynUser,
epicsInt32  value 
) [virtual]

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

This function performs actions for some parameters, including NDReadFile, NDWriteFile and NDFileCapture. For other parameters it calls NDPluginDriver::writeInt32 to see if that method understands the parameter. For all parameters it sets the value in the parameter library and calls any registered callbacks..

Parameters:
[in] pasynUser pasynUser structure that encodes the reason and address.
[in] value Value to write.

Reimplemented from NDPluginDriver.

Reimplemented in NDFileHDF5.

asynStatus NDPluginFile::writeNDArray ( asynUser *  pasynUser,
void *  genericPointer 
) [virtual]
