JSBSim Flight Dynamics Model  1.1.11 (13 Feb 2022)
An Open Source Flight Dynamics and Control Software Library in C++
FGInputType Class Referenceabstract

Detailed Description

Abstract class to provide functions generic to all the input directives.

This class is used by the input manager FGInput to manage a list of different input classes without needing to know the details of each one of them. It also provides the functions that are common to all the input classes.

The class inherits from FGModelFunctions so it is possible to define functions that execute before or after the input is generated. Such functions need to be tagged with a "pre" or "post" type attribute to denote the sequence in which they should be executed.

The class mimics some functionalities of FGModel (methods InitModel(), Run() and SetRate()). However it does not inherit from FGModel since it is conceptually different from the model paradigm.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetInputName()

virtual const std::string& GetInputName ( void  ) const
inlinevirtual

Get the name identifier to which the input will be directed.

Returns
the name identifier.

Definition at line 129 of file FGInputType.h.

129 { return Name; }

◆ Load()

bool Load ( Element el)
overridevirtual

Init the input directives from an XML file (implement the FGModel interface).

Parameters
elementXML Element that is pointing to the input directives

Reimplemented from FGModel.

Reimplemented in FGUDPInputSocket.

Definition at line 72 of file FGInputType.cpp.

73 {
74  // Perform base class Load.
75  if(!FGModel::Upload(element, true))
76  return false;
77 
78  // no common attributes yet (see FGOutputType for example
79 
80  // FIXME : PostLoad should be called in the most derived class ?
81  PostLoad(element, FDMExec);

83  return true;
84 }

+ Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ Read()

virtual void Read ( bool  Holding)
pure virtual

Generate the input.

This is a pure method so it must be implemented by the classes that inherits from FGInputType. The Read name may not be relevant to all inputs but it has been kept for backward compatibility.

Implemented in FGInputSocket, and FGUDPInputSocket.

+ Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ Run()

bool Run ( bool  Holding)
overridevirtual

Executes the input directives (implement the FGModel interface).

This method checks that the current time step matches the input rate and calls the registered "pre" functions, the input generation and finally the "post" functions.

Returns
false if no error.

Reimplemented from FGModel.

Definition at line 98 of file FGInputType.cpp.

99 {
100  if (FGModel::Run(Holding)) return true;
101  if (!enabled) return true;

110 }
+ Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ SetIdx()

void SetIdx ( unsigned int  idx)

Set the idx for this input instance.

Parameters
idxID of the input instance that is constructed

Definition at line 65 of file FGInputType.cpp.

66 {
67  InputIdx = idx;
68 }
+ Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ SetInputName()

virtual void SetInputName ( const std::string &  name)
inlinevirtual

Overwrites the name identifier under which the input will be read.

This method is taken into account if it is called before FGFDMExec::RunIC() otherwise it is ignored until the next call to SetStartNewInput().

Parameters
namenew name

Definition at line 125 of file FGInputType.h.

125 { Name = name; }

◆ Toggle()

bool Toggle ( void  )
inline

Toggles the input generation.

Returns
the input generation status i.e. true if the input has been enabled, false if the input has been disabled.

Definition at line 118 of file FGInputType.h.

118 {enabled = !enabled; return enabled;}
