addConnectionListener

public void addConnectionListener(ConnectionListener l)

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

Method AddConnectionListener is called by jScope after the instantiation of a DataProvider implementation, in order to be notified of the status of data transfer. If a DataProvider implementation has to handle the transfer of large chunks of data (e.g. frame sequences) requiring a relatively long time, it should be able to communicate the current status of the transfer to jScope which displays then a status bar. To do this, the DataProvider implementation calls ConnectionListener's method processConnectionEvent, passing an istance of ConnectionEvent as argument. Class ConnectionEvent defines the following information:
- int total_size: total size of the data to be transferred
- int current_size: the size of the data transferred so far
- String info: an additional information string which is displayed by jScope
If the DataProvider implementation does not support transfer notification, method AddConnectionListener is empty.

Specified by:

addConnectionListener in interface DataProvider

Parameters:

l - The ConnectionListener which has to be notified by means of method processConnectionEvent(ConnenctionEvent)

ConnectionListener, ConnectionEvent

addUpdateEventListener

public void addUpdateEventListener(UpdateEventListener l,
                                   String event)

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

Method AddUpdateEventListener is called by jScope when asynchronous update on event is defined. To connect data visualization to asynchronous event an event name has to be defined in the Update event field of the setup data form popup dialog. DataProvider implementations supporting asynchronous signal updating should notify event occurrence to all registered listeners by calling method processUpdateEvent(UpdateEvent e). UpdateEvent defines the following field, in addition to those defined in the AWTEvent superclass:
- String name: the name of the event
The possibility of connecting data display to asynchronous events is useful when jScope is used during data acquisition, for an automatic display update when a signal has been acquired. In this case the data acquisition system would generate an event when the signal has been acquired, and the DataProvider implementation would call method processUpdateEvent (defined in UpdateEventListener interface) to request the display update to jScope.
If the DataProvider implementation does not support asynchronous events, the method is void

Specified by:

addUpdateEventListener in interface DataProvider

Parameters:

l - The passed instance of UpdateEventListener.

event - The name of the event for which the UpdateEventListener is registering.

UpdateEventListener, UpdateEvent

close

public void close()

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

Method Dispose is called by jScope each time a DataProvider is no more used. Unlike Object.finalize(), method Dispose is guaranteed to be called at the time the DataProvider implementation is no more used by jScope.

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Specified by:

close in interface DataProvider

getError

public String getError()

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

If an error is encountered in the evaluation of a signal (GetWaveData or GetResampledWaveData returning null or generating IOException), jScope calls ErrorString method to retrieve the description of the error just occurred.

Specified by:

getError in interface DataProvider

Returns:

A verbose description of the last error.

getFloat

public double getFloat(String in,
                       int row,
                       int col,
                       int index)

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

Method GetFloat is called by jScope to evaluate x min, x max, y min, y max when defined in the stup data source popup form. The argument is in fact the string typed by the user in the form. In its simplest implementation, method GetFloat converts the string into a float value and returns it. Other data providers, such as MdsDataProvider, evaluate, possibly remotely, the passed string which may therefore be represented by an expression.

Specified by:

getFloat in interface DataProvider

Parameters:

in - The specification of the value.

Returns:

The evaluated value.

getFrameData

public FrameData getFrameData(String in_y,
                              String in_x,
                              float time_min,
                              float time_max)
                       throws IOException

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

GetFrameData is called by jScope to retrieve and display a frame sequence. The frame sequence is returned by means of an object implementing the FrameData interface.

Specified by:

getFrameData in interface DataProvider

Parameters:

in_y - The frame sequence specification as defined in the frames field of the setup data popup dialog

in_x - The definition of the time specification for the frame list as defined in the times field of the setup data popup dialog.

time_min - Initial considered time for the frame sequence.

time_max - Final considered time for the frame sequence.

Returns:

An implementation of the FrameData interface representing the corresponding frame sequence

Throws:

IOException

FrameData

getShots

public long[] getShots(String in,
                       String experiment)
                throws IOException

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

Evaluate the passed string to provide an array of shot numbers.

Specified by:

getShots in interface DataProvider

Parameters:

in - The shot(s) specification as typed in the "Shot" field of jScope panel

Throws:

IOException

getString

public String getString(String in,
                        int row,
                        int col,
                        int index)

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

GetString is called by jScope to evaluate title, X label and Y label. These labels are defined as string in the Setup data source popup form. In the simplest case labels are exactly the same as defined, and therefore GetString simply returns its argument. In any case the data provider is free to interpret differently the argument.

Specified by:

getString in interface DataProvider

Parameters:

in - The specification of the label or title.

Returns:

The evaluated label or title.

getWaveData

public WaveData getWaveData(String in,
                            int row,
                            int col,
                            int index)

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

Method GetWaveData called by jScope when a waveform has to be evaluated and only the Y axis is defined. In this case jScope assumes that the specification is enough and it is up to the data provider implementation to retrieve X and Y axis. The evaluated signal is not directly returned as a vector, rather as a object implementing the WaveData interface.

Specified by:

getWaveData in interface DataProvider

Parameters:

in - The specification of the signal, typed in the Y axis field of the setup data source popup form, or in the lower right window of jScope.

row - Row number of the corresponding panel

col - Column number of the corresponding panel

index - Index the corresponding panel

Returns:

The evaluated signal embedded in a WaveData object, or null if an error is encountered.

getWaveData

public WaveData getWaveData(String in_y,
                            String in_x,
                            int row,
                            int col,
                            int index)

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

Method GetWaveData called by jScope when a waveform has to be evaluated and both X and Y axis are defined. The evaluated signal is not directly treturned as a vector, rather as a object implementing the WaveData interface. jScope the uses the returned object to retieve X and Y axis.

Specified by:

getWaveData in interface DataProvider

Parameters:

in_y - Y axis specification as typed in the setup data source popupo dialog.

in_x - X axis specification as typed in the setup data source popupo dialog.

row - Row number of the corresponding panel

col - Column number of the corresponding panel

index - Index the corresponding panel

Returns:

The evaluated signal, embedded in a WaveData object, or null if an error is encountered.

inquireCredentials

public int inquireCredentials(JFrame f,
                              DataServerItem server_item)

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

Some DataProvider implemenations may require additional information (e.g. username and password) typed by users in a login form. As jScope does not make any assumption on this kind of information it is up to the DataProvider implementation to realize such a form (if any). For this reason jScope calls method InquireCredential passing as argument the container JFrame. InquireCredentials may return:
-DataProvider.LOGIN_OK if the DataProvider has been succesfully validated
-DataProvider.LOGIN_ERROR if the DataProvided did not succeed in validation
-DataProvider.LOGIN_CANCEL if the login proess has been aborted by user (usually pressing
a cancel button)
Only in the first case jScope will proceede with the usega of the DataProvider implementation. In the secon case a warning dialog is shown, and in the third case the DataProvider is simply discarded.

Specified by:

inquireCredentials in interface DataProvider

Parameters:

f - The container Frame.

Returns:

The status of the DataProvider specific validation process

isBusy

public boolean isBusy()

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

Can be used to check if provider is busy (helps scheduling).

Specified by:

isBusy in interface DataProvider

Returns:

true is busy.

removeConnectionListener

public void removeConnectionListener(ConnectionListener l)

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

Called by jScope when transfer notification is no more requested. Empty if the DataProvider implementation does not support transfer status notification.

Specified by:

removeConnectionListener in interface DataProvider

Parameters:

l - The previously registered ConnectionListener.

ConnectionListener

removeUpdateEventListener

public void removeUpdateEventListener(UpdateEventListener l,
                                      String event)

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

Method RemoveUpdateEventListeneris called by jScope when the display of a waveform panel is no more triggered by an event.

Specified by:

removeUpdateEventListener in interface DataProvider

Parameters:

l - The instance of UpdateEventListener previously registered.

event - The event to which the listener was previously registered.

See Also:

UpdateEventListener

setArgument

public void setArgument(String arg)

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

As DataProvider implementations are instantiated by jScope by means of the Class.newInstance(), no arguments can be passed to the constructor method. If an additional argument is required for the proper initialization of the DataProvider implementation (e.g. the ip address for the MdsDataProvider), the argument, defined in the server_n.argument item of the property file is passed through method SetArgument called by jScope just after the DataProvider instantiation.

Specified by:

setArgument in interface DataProvider

Parameters:

arg - The argument passed to the DataProvider implementation.

setEnvironment

public void setEnvironment(String exp)

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

Defines the environment for data retrieval. Depending on the nature of the provider of data, some environment variable may be defined. For example the MdsDataProvider allows the definition of TDI variables which may be useful for configuring remote data access. jScope allows the definition of an arbitrary set of environment variable using the customize--public variables... option. As jScope does not make any assumption on the syntax of the defined variables, each variable definition is passed to the Data provider by means of the SetEnvironment method, whose argument is a String which defines name value pairs. If the DataProvider implementation does not support such a feature, it simply returns.

Specified by:

setEnvironment in interface DataProvider

Parameters:

exp - The variable definition expressed as name value pair.

supportsTunneling

public boolean supportsTunneling()

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

Enable tunneling activation. Return False if no ssh tunneling available.

Specified by:

supportsTunneling in interface DataProvider

Returns:

Tunneling flag

update

public void update(String exp,
                   long s)

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

Method Update is called by jScope to notify the experiment name and the shot number. Update can be called several time by jScope for the same DataProvider implementation in the case user changes either the experiment name or the shot number.

Specified by:

update in interface DataProvider

Parameters:

exp - The experiment name
