    • prepareSystem

      public boolean prepareSystem(AcquisitionControl daqControl)
      Description copied from class: DaqSystem
      Prepare the DaqSystem.

      Usually this is the time for opening files, preparing data buffers, etc.

      Specified by:
      prepareSystem in class DaqSystem
      Parameters:
      daqControl - AcquisitionControl unit.
      Returns:
      true if OK, false otherwise.

    • getDataUnitSamples

      public int getDataUnitSamples()
      Specified by:
      getDataUnitSamples in class DaqSystem
      Returns:
      the number of samples expected in each data unit.

    • startSystem

      public boolean startSystem(AcquisitionControl daqControl)
      Description copied from class: DaqSystem
      Start the DaqSystem. This is called immediately after PrepareSystem

      Most things should be ready from the call to PrepareSystem. In StartSystem you will generally need to start a thread which will read in the data and place PamDataUnits in a buffer from where they are read by the main thred and passed on to other Pam modules for processing (see SoundCardSystem for an example)

      Specified by:
      startSystem in class DaqSystem
      Parameters:
      daqControl - AcquisitionControl unit.
      Returns:
      true if OK, false otherwise

    • stopSystem

      public void stopSystem(AcquisitionControl daqControl)
      Description copied from class: DaqSystem
      Stop the DaqSystem.
      Specified by:
      stopSystem in class DaqSystem
      Parameters:
      daqControl -

    • getDaqSpecificChannelListPanel

      public ChannelListPanel getDaqSpecificChannelListPanel(AcquisitionDialog acquisitionDialog)
      Description copied from class: DaqSystem
      Get a channel list panel (invented for NI cards which have many more options)
      Overrides:
      getDaqSpecificChannelListPanel in class DaqSystem
      Parameters:
      acquisitionDialog - reference to main acquisition dialog
      Returns:

    • getDaqSpecificDialogComponent

      public JPanel getDaqSpecificDialogComponent(AcquisitionDialog acquisitionDialog)
      Description copied from class: DaqSystem
      The AcquisitionDialog has been designed to that each data source type can plug in it's own panel of device specific controls. These could be things like a file name, gain settings, channel lists, whatever is available for the specific device

      The AcquisitionDialog will handle placing this component on the dialog when a particular DaqSystem is selected. The component will be placed between a drop down list of available DaqSystem's and a section of the dialog showing the sample rate and number of channels.

      Specified by:
      getDaqSpecificDialogComponent in class DaqSystem
      Parameters:
      acquisitionDialog - the AcquisitionDialog this component will be added to
      Returns:
      dialog component specific to this DAQ device

    • dialogGetParams

      public boolean dialogGetParams()
      Description copied from class: DaqSystem
      Called by AcquisitionDialog.GetParams so that parameters can be extracted from the dialog component. The DaqSystem should also implement PamSettings and handle storage of parameters between runs.
      Specified by:
      dialogGetParams in class DaqSystem
      Returns:
      true if the parameters and selections are OK. If false is returned the Acquisition dialog will not respond to its Ok button.

    • getSystemType

      public String getSystemType()
      Specified by:
      getSystemType in class DaqSystem
      Returns:
      The 'type' of data source for display in the Data Source dialog

      Calling functions should be able to handle 'null'

    • getSystemName

      public String getSystemName()
      Specified by:
      getSystemName in class DaqSystem
      Returns:
      A string describing the data source, e.g. the sound card name, file name, udp port, etc.

    • canPlayBack

      public boolean canPlayBack(float sampleRate)
      Specified by:
      canPlayBack in class DaqSystem
      Returns:
      true if the system can also play back sound - likely to be true for sound cards and ASIO, and some NI cards, false for wav files. Simulator ?

    • getPlaybackSystem

      public PlaybackSystem getPlaybackSystem(PlaybackControl playbackControl, DaqSystem daqSystem)
      Description copied from class: DaqSystem
      Gets a playback system for playing sound back out through headphones / speakers, etc.

      Generally, anything acquiring data in real time should play the sound back through itself so that clocks are correctly synchronised. i.e. A sound card input will go to the same sound card output, etc. At a later date, we may try to support output through different devices at different speeds - but this will be problematic !

      If data are being read from a file, then playback is through a sound card which sits in a stand alone implementation of PlaybackSystem

      Overrides:
      getPlaybackSystem in class DaqSystem
      Parameters:
      playbackControl -
      daqSystem -
      Returns:
      null if no playback available or a PlaybackSystem object.
