getByteArray()

byte [] de.desy.tine.types.TCompoundDataObject.getByteArray

(

)

Passive method that simple returns the reference to the underlying bytestream Used by TDataType(), TTaggedStruct, and THistoryRecord.

Returns

a reference to the underlying bytestream (if any)

Implemented in de.desy.tine.types.IMAGE, de.desy.tine.types.TDS, de.desy.tine.types.LNGINT, and de.desy.tine.types.DBLINT.

Referenced by de.desy.tine.dataUtils.TDataType.getData().

getDoubleValue()

double de.desy.tine.types.TCompoundDataObject.getDoubleValue

(

)

Used only by the THistoryRecord class in retrieving the primary double floating point value for this compound data object (if available).

If the compound data object has no double value, then a '0' is returned.

Returns

the canonical double value part of this compound data object.

Implemented in de.desy.tine.types.IMAGE, de.desy.tine.types.LNGINT, de.desy.tine.types.TDS, and de.desy.tine.types.DBLINT.

getFormat()

short de.desy.tine.types.TCompoundDataObject.getFormat

(

)

Used by TDataType, TTaggedStruct and other routines.

Returns

the format code of this compound data type

Implemented in de.desy.tine.types.IMAGE, de.desy.tine.types.TDS, de.desy.tine.types.LNGINT, and de.desy.tine.types.DBLINT.

Referenced by de.desy.tine.structUtils.TTaggedStructure.addField().

getIntegerValue()

int de.desy.tine.types.TCompoundDataObject.getIntegerValue

(

)

Used only by the THistoryRecord class in retrieving the primary 32-bit integer value for this compound data object (if available).

If the compound data object has no integer value, then a '0' is returned.

Returns

the canonical integer value part of this compound data object.

Implemented in de.desy.tine.types.IMAGE, de.desy.tine.types.LNGINT, de.desy.tine.types.TDS, and de.desy.tine.types.DBLINT.

getSizeInBytes()

int de.desy.tine.types.TCompoundDataObject.getSizeInBytes

(

)

Used by TDataType, TTaggedStruct and other routines.

Returns

the size in bytes of the of this compound data type

Implemented in de.desy.tine.types.IMAGE, de.desy.tine.types.TDS, de.desy.tine.types.LNGINT, and de.desy.tine.types.DBLINT.

Referenced by de.desy.tine.structUtils.TTaggedStructure.addField(), de.desy.tine.dataUtils.TDataType.getData(), and de.desy.tine.dataUtils.TDataType.putData().

getTag()

String de.desy.tine.types.TCompoundDataObject.getTag

(

)

Used by TDataType, TTaggedStruct and other routines.

Returns

the data tag of this compound data type

Implemented in de.desy.tine.types.IMAGE, de.desy.tine.types.TDS, de.desy.tine.types.LNGINT, and de.desy.tine.types.DBLINT.

setByteArray()

void de.desy.tine.types.TCompoundDataObject.setByteArray

(

byte[]

byteArray

)

Sets the underlying bytestream to that give Used only by the HISTORY data type for manipulating compound data types.

Parameters

byteArray

a new reference to an underlying bytestream

Implemented in de.desy.tine.types.IMAGE, de.desy.tine.types.TDS, de.desy.tine.types.LNGINT, and de.desy.tine.types.DBLINT.

setFieldSeparator()

void de.desy.tine.types.TCompoundDataObject.setFieldSeparator

(

String

value

)

sets the field separator token used the the toString() method

Parameters

value

Implemented in de.desy.tine.types.IMAGE, de.desy.tine.types.DBLINT, de.desy.tine.types.LNGINT, and de.desy.tine.types.TDS.

toByteArray()

byte [] de.desy.tine.types.TCompoundDataObject.toByteArray

(

)

Active method to convert the relevant data fields of this compound data type into the underlying byte stream (data being sent).

This primarily involves byte swapping from big-endian to little-endian. Used systematically by TDataType() and other routines.

Returns

a reference to the underlying bytestream (as a courtesy)

Implemented in de.desy.tine.types.IMAGE, de.desy.tine.types.DBLINT, de.desy.tine.types.LNGINT, and de.desy.tine.types.TDS.

Referenced by de.desy.tine.dataUtils.TDataType.getData().

toStruct()

void de.desy.tine.types.TCompoundDataObject.toStruct

(

)

Active method to convert the underlying byte stream to the relevant data fields of this compound data type.

(data being received). This primarily involved swapping from little-endian to big-endian. Used systematically by TDataType() and other routines.

Returns

Implemented in de.desy.tine.types.IMAGE, de.desy.tine.types.DBLINT, de.desy.tine.types.TDS, and de.desy.tine.types.LNGINT.

Referenced by de.desy.tine.dataUtils.TDataType.getData().
