Detailed Description

Readout the background data from the electronics and send the data to the recorder running at the eyepc.

The background reader is started in a separate process from the pbusdaemon or directly on the same machine. The background loop will run until the connection to the server is lost.

Todo:

Every process started with fork() will exist as zombie as long as the main process will not use the function wait().

Todo:

Try to use select() during waiting. Both the socket connection to the server and any key press can be detect much faster by this function. In the moment we have a small polling loop with a 1 second period. During the first tests it turned out that a socket connection is not properly released after the usage of select (use: netstat --ip).

Member Function Documentation

int TsBackgroundReader::connect	(	std::string	ipaddr,
		int	port = BGLOOP_PORT
	)

void TsBackgroundReader::disconnect

(

)

void TsBackgroundReader::getParameter	(	int	telId,
		FILE *	fout = 0
	)

Request the samping parameter from the server.

Parameters:

telId	Id of the telescope that is read out by this class.
fout	Output stream

void TsBackgroundReader::record

(

bool

interactive = 0

)

Record the backgrounmd data and send it to the server recording all the records from all connected teescopes.

void TsBackgroundReader::setParameter	(	FILE *	fout = 0,
		float	tSample = 5.0,
		int	select = 0,
		int	telescope = 0
	)

Set manually the parameter for the background loop.

This is useful if the background loop should run without connection to the recorder process.

int TsBackgroundReader::shutdown

(

)

Shutdown server.

void TsBackgroundReader::wait

(

keyboard *

kb = 0

)

Wait for the next sample time.

The 'q' pressed at the keyboard will stop the waiting and set the running-flag to false.
