Detailed Description

This thread is the simulated real-time periodic thread in the Orocos system.

All your activities in the same program must be a SimulationActivity for this to work, since the os::TimeService global time is updated when this thread runs.

By default, the update period is 0.001 seconds. If you want to run with a finer or coarser grained time step, use the Instance() method and supply another period before SimulationActivities are created.

Note:
This implementation has lost the capability to run SimulationActivity objects of different periods.

Member Function Documentation

void RTT::SimulationThread::finalize (  )  [protected, virtual]
See also:
base::RunnableInterface::finalize()

Reimplemented from RTT::extras::TimerThread.

Definition at line 155 of file SimulationThread.cpp.

bool RTT::SimulationThread::initialize (  )  [protected, virtual]
See also:
base::RunnableInterface::initialize()

Reimplemented from RTT::extras::TimerThread.

Definition at line 141 of file SimulationThread.cpp.

SimulationThreadPtr RTT::SimulationThread::Instance ( double  period = 0.001  )  [static]

Create the SimulationThread with a given period. Only one SimulationThread can be created.

Parameters:
period The period in seconds at which the simulation takes steps and updates the TimeService. Only the first invocation of Instance will consider this parameter. The others will ignore it.

Definition at line 69 of file SimulationThread.cpp.

bool RTT::SimulationThread::isRunning (  )  const [virtual]

Returns true if thread is running or run( unsigned int ) is being invoked.

Reimplemented from RTT::os::Thread.

Definition at line 103 of file SimulationThread.cpp.

bool RTT::SimulationThread::Release (  )  [static]

Releases the SimulationThread Reference counting might aid in making this call safe

Returns:
true on success, false on failure

Definition at line 79 of file SimulationThread.cpp.

bool RTT::SimulationThread::run ( unsigned int  maxsteps  )  [virtual]

Execute maxsteps steps immediately. This function will call the step() functions maxsteps times, without requiring start() or stop() to be called before or after. The thread is thus not used.

Returns:
false if maxsteps == 0
Postcondition:
When run() returns, step() has been called maxsteps times.

Definition at line 122 of file SimulationThread.cpp.

os::ThreadInterface * RTT::SimulationThread::simthread (  )  [virtual]

Always returns the MainThread.

Definition at line 137 of file SimulationThread.cpp.

bool RTT::SimulationThread::start ( unsigned int  maxsteps  )  [virtual]

Only run the simulation maxsteps time steps, then stop the SimulationThread.

Returns:
false if maxsteps == 0 or if thread could not be started.

Definition at line 114 of file SimulationThread.cpp.

bool RTT::SimulationThread::start (  )  [virtual]

Start the Thread.

Postcondition:
initialize() is called first
The Thread is running
Returns:
true if the function did succeed. false otherwise.

Reimplemented from RTT::os::Thread.

Definition at line 108 of file SimulationThread.cpp.

void RTT::SimulationThread::step (  )  [protected, virtual]
See also:
base::RunnableInterface::step()

Reimplemented from RTT::extras::TimerThread.

Definition at line 166 of file SimulationThread.cpp.
