Detailed Description

Class UwConnector allows to specify an interface between the UwDriver object and the device.

The connector is typically a TCP or UDP connection, but may also be a serial connection. It allows to retrieve the data packets received by the transducer and to send commands to it. UwConnector assumes the connector works on a byte-based flow.

Member Function Documentation

closeConnection()

virtual bool UwConnector::closeConnection ( )

pure virtual

Method that closes an active connection to a device interface.

Returns

boolean true if connection is correctly closed, false otherwise

Implemented in UwSerial, and UwSocket.

getErrno()

virtual const int UwConnector::getErrno ( )

inlinevirtual

Function that retrieves the last saved errno code: to be implemented.

Returns

error code from <cerrno> system library

Definition at line 120 of file uwconnector.h.

isConnected()

virtual const bool UwConnector::isConnected ( )

pure virtual

Returns true if connection is up.

Returns

if connection is up

Implemented in UwSerial, and UwSocket.

openConnection()

virtual bool UwConnector::openConnection ( const std::string &  path )

pure virtual

Method that opens up a connection to a device.

This method can open a conection with the modem's data/config interface or directly to some remote host at the end of the connection. @path string representing the path to connect to: its meaning depends on the type of connection established

Returns

boolean true if connection is correctly opened, false otherwise

Implemented in UwSerial, and UwSocket.

readFromDevice()

virtual int UwConnector::readFromDevice ( void *  wpos, int  maxlen  )

pure virtual

Function that dumps data from the device's memory to data char array.

The downloaded data is saved to a temporary buffer, to be later parsed.

Parameters

pos	char pointer to the beginning of the writable area; it is duty of the caller to take care of the writable area
maxlen	maximum integer number of char to write to wpos

Returns

number of bytes read in a single dump

Implemented in UwSerial, and UwSocket.

setServer()

virtual void UwConnector::setServer ( )

inlinevirtual

Method required in client-server connection (e.g.

TCP)

Reimplemented in UwSocket.

Definition at line 69 of file uwconnector.h.

setTCP()

virtual void UwConnector::setTCP ( )

inlinevirtual

Method that should set, for a socket connector, the TCP transport protocol.

To be left untouched by other types of connectors.

Reimplemented in UwSocket.

Definition at line 75 of file uwconnector.h.

setUDP()

virtual void UwConnector::setUDP ( )

inlinevirtual

Method that should set, for a socket connector, the UDP transport protocol.

To be left untouched by other types of connectors.

Reimplemented in UwSocket.

Definition at line 81 of file uwconnector.h.

writeToDevice()

virtual int UwConnector::writeToDevice ( const std::string &  msg )

pure virtual

Function that writes some command to the connected interface.

Parameters

cmd	string command to write to the device

Returns

boolean true if command is correctly written to the device

Implemented in UwSerial, and UwSocket.
