Detailed Description

Node for creating bursts.

This node receives dish states from a receiver node and then detects and creates burst sequences, which are forwarded to the CAT creator node. The operation of the node is autonomous; after the object has been created, the node will run with no further operation.

Member Function Documentation

void BurstCreator::addDish ( ) [private]

Processes a new dish state from the queue.

If the buffer hasn't finished, the dish state is used in the buffer. If the buffer has finished, then the dish state is added to the burst checkers. The burst merger then runs, and a new merged burst is published if ready.

void BurstCreator::callback ( const neuro_recv::dish_state::ConstPtr & d ) [private]

Callback for dish state messages.

This method is called automatically when the node receives a dish state message. If the dish state is marked as the "last dish", the finish method is called. Otherwise, the dish state is added to the queue.

Parameters:
