Detailed Description

Instances of DtObjectPublisher are used for local or source simulations of objects, (i.e.

these objects are not dependent on data being produced elsewhere on the network for their existence). These object send data to the network.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DtObjectPublisher::DtObjectPublisher	(	DtExerciseConn *	conn,
		DtStateRepository *	stateRep,
		DtStateRepository *	asSeenByRemote,
		bool	okToDeleteStateRep = true
	)

Constructor takes an DtExerciseConn which must have a lifetime greater than the ObjectPubliser.

It also takes two DtStateRepositories, the stateRep which it destroys in the DTOR if the okToDeleteStateRep flag was set to true, and the asSeenByRemote which is destroyed in the dtor every time.

virtual DtObjectPublisher::~DtObjectPublisher ( )

virtual

Destructor.

DtObjectPublisher::DtObjectPublisher ( const DtObjectPublisher &  orig )

private

copy constructor – not implemented

Member Function Documentation

DtStateRepository * DtObjectPublisher::approximateRemoteStateRep ( )

inlinevirtual

Returns a pointer to the approximate remote DtStateRepository – This state repository contains the contents of the last sent message.

VR-Link keeps this SR so it can ensure that object updates get sent only when their data have changed.

References myAsSeenByRemote.

static DtTime DtObjectPublisher::dfltTimeThreshold ( )

static

The default heartbeat rate, see setDfltTimeThreshold().

DtExerciseConn * DtObjectPublisher::exerciseConn ( )

inlinevirtual

Get our exercise connection.

References myExConn.

protectedvirtual

Puts the PDU on the network and updates timestamps.

static void DtObjectPublisher::setDfltTimeThreshold ( DtTime  time )

static

Set the default heartbeat rate.

The time passed to this function is the number of seconds between heartbeats in published objects at rest. The default time is 5s.

virtual void DtObjectPublisher::setTimeThreshold ( DtTime  time )

virtual
