Detailed Description

template<typename InterfaceType>
class GenericServerPtr< InterfaceType >

Represents a server. The server provides access to the openDAQ device. Depend of the implementation, it can support configuring the device, reading configuration, and data streaming.

We do not make the server directly. But through the instance and module manager. For that reason, the server must be uniquely defined with "ServerType". The server is then created with the current root device, context and configuration object.

Configuration of the server can be done with custom property object. The configuration object is created with the corresponding ServerType object (IServerType::createDefaultConfig method). For example, with a configuration object, we can define connection timeout.

Member Function Documentation

getId()

daq::StringPtr getId ( ) const

inline

Gets the server id.

Returns

The server id.

getSignals()

daq::ListPtr<daq::ISignal> getSignals ( const daq::SearchFilterPtr &  searchFilter = nullptr ) const

inline

Gets a list of the server's signals.

Returns

The flat list of signals.

Server signals are most often the mirrored representations of signals that belong to the client connected to the instance via this server.
