public abstract class PamProcess
extends java.lang.Object
implements PamObserver, Annotator

Author:

Doug Gillespie

PamProcess is an abstract class used as a supertype for the creation of processes which either convert one type of PamData into a new type or add existing information to already existing data

All PamProcesses are Listeners and implement the Observer Class from java.util

The first PamProcess to be created will often be something which generates raw data (either by reading an input device or by reading chunks of data from a file).

Each PamProcess will require a source of data, which apart from the top level processes which acquire data, will be a PamDataBlock. The PamProcess will generally subscribe to the PamDataBlock so that it is notified of any changes (i.e. new data) being added to that block.

The PamController ...

Constructor Detail

PamProcess

public PamProcess(PamControlledUnit pamControlledUnit,
                  PamDataBlock parentDataBlock)

Parameters:

pamControlledUnit - Reference to the PamControlledUnit containing this process (PamProcesses can only exist within PamControlledUnits, but a PamControlledUnit can contain multiple PamProcesses)

parentDataBlock - Source data block for this process (can be null for raw data input devices)

PamProcess

public PamProcess(PamControlledUnit pamControlledUnit,
                  PamDataBlock parentDataBlock,
                  java.lang.String processName)

Method Detail

getObserverObject

public PamObserver getObserverObject()

Specified by:

getObserverObject in interface PamObserver

Returns:

the actual observer. In most cases concrete classes will just return 'this' in response. The exception is the Threaded observer, which will return the single thread observer.

destroyProcess

public void destroyProcess()

Called from the PamControlled unit when a PamControlled unit is removed from the model. Offers an opportunity to disconnect individual processed from the rest of the model. May be necessary to override to clean up some processes.

makePamProcess

public void makePamProcess(PamControlledUnit pamControlledUnit,
                           PamDataBlock parentDataBlock,
                           java.lang.String processName)

getParentDataBlock

public PamDataBlock getParentDataBlock()

Returns:

Returns the parentDataBlock.

getParentProcess

public PamProcess getParentProcess()

getAncestorDataBlock

public PamDataBlock getAncestorDataBlock(java.lang.Class unitDataType)

Useful function to go back through the chain of data blocks and data units upstream of this process and look for a data block which has a particular data type. For instance, you may want the raw audio data upstream of FFT data. This may not be the data input to the FFT source, since you may be looking at some secondary FFT data source (smoothed, or noise suppressed spectrogram data for instance).

Parameters:

unitDataType - class type of data in the sought after data block (e.g. RawDataUnit.class

Returns:

reference to data block or null if none found

See Also:

PamDataBlock

setParentDataBlock

public void setParentDataBlock(PamDataBlock newParentDataBlock)

Set a parent data block with the default options of rethreading if set

public void setParentDataBlock(PamDataBlock newParentDataBlock,
                               boolean reThread)

Parameters:

newParentDataBlock - source data block

reThread - rethread if multithreading is enabled.

createAnnotations

public final void createAnnotations(boolean notifyDownstream)

changedThreading

public void changedThreading()
