Class List
Here are the most
relevant classes and interfaces with brief descriptions:
The client-side API will
mostly concern itself with creating TLink objects,
binding data objects to them, and establishing data links with remote servers. 
| Client Side Interface: |  | 
| TLink.java  | |
| TLinkFactory.java  | |
| Interface to a TLink callback class for use in asynchronous
  links  | |
| Interface to a TLink callback class for use in asynchronous
  links  | |
| A TLink callback which is executed
  asynchronously on the AWT event dispatching thread  | |
| A TLink callback which is executed synchronously
  on the AWT event dispatching thread  | |
| Parameter Types and
  Definitions: |  | 
| Data access flags  | |
| TINE access modes and
  modifiers  | |
| TINE data format types
   | |
| TINE Static error
  strings  | |
| Data set returned by a
  call to a property can specify the type of array it is by registering this
  information  | |
| Data Objects and
  Methods: |  | 
| TINE Data Type object
  All data transferred client <-> server must be contained in a TDataType object  | |
| TDataTime offers some useful Data and Time
  Stamp utilities  | |
| Interface for most
  TINE complex data types  | |
| Tagged Structure The
  transfer of 'user-defined' data structures is allowed in TINE  | |
| Subclass of second
  (and last) part of header (subclass used for logical grouping of class member
  variables which map almost 1:1 to header structures physically transferred in
  binary form  | |
| TINE type CF_IMAGE
  java class implementation  | |
| Subclass of first part
  of header (subclass used for logical grouping of class member variables which
  map almost 1:1 to header structures transferred in binary form  | |
| Server Side Interface: |  | 
| Equipment module
  factory  | |
| A server handles all
  data requests through its equipment module  | |
| Servers wishing to
  register a background IO task should inherit from TEquipmentBackgroundTask  | |
| Server side cycle trigger
  methods A cycle trigger interface  | |
| Server side
  state-change trigger methods A state-change trigger interface  | |
| Device Object: |  | 
| Instances of devices
  served by a device server should inherit from TDevice  | |
| Property Object: |  | 
| Device servers must
  export the properties they wish to handle  | |
| Provides meta
  information about an exported property  | |
| An abstract handler
  for property requests  | |
| Useful Utilities: |  | 
| TAlarmSystem is a utility class with numerous
  static methods for access alarm data from either the central alarm system of
  the local alarm subsystems of targeted servers  | |
| THistory is a utility class with numerous
  static methods for access archive data from either the central archive system
  of the local history subsystems of targeted servers  | |
| The basic property
  query structure  | |
| TQuery: Utility with many standard query
  routines  | |
| Utility routines for
  accessing information from the Equipment Name Server (ENS)  | |
| Utility class to
  perform common unsigned conversion algorithms  |
