Detailed Description

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

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

The class inherits from FGModelFunctions so it is possible to define functions that execute before or after the output 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.

◆ InitModel()

bool JSBSim::FGOutputType::InitModel ( void )

overridevirtual

Init the output model according to its configitation.

Reimplemented from JSBSim::FGModel.

Definition at line 178 of file FGOutputType.cpp.

◆ Load()

bool JSBSim::FGOutputType::Load ( Element * el )

overridevirtual

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

Parameters

element XML Element that is pointing to the output directives

Reimplemented from JSBSim::FGModel.

Definition at line 102 of file FGOutputType.cpp.

◆ Print()

virtual void JSBSim::FGOutputType::Print ( void )

pure virtual

Generate the output.

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

Implemented in JSBSim::FGOutputFG, JSBSim::FGOutputFile, JSBSim::FGOutputSocket, and JSBSim::FGOutputTextFile.

◆ Run()

bool JSBSim::FGOutputType::Run ( void )

Executes the output directives (implement the FGModel interface).

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

Returns: false if no error.

Definition at line 188 of file FGOutputType.cpp.

◆ SetIdx()

void JSBSim::FGOutputType::SetIdx ( unsigned int idx )

Set the idx for this output instance.

Parameters

idx	ID of the output instance that is constructed

Definition at line 91 of file FGOutputType.cpp.

◆ SetOutputName()

virtual void JSBSim::FGOutputType::SetOutputName ( const std::string & name )

inlinevirtual

Overwrites the name identifier under which the output will be logged.

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

Parameters

name new name

Reimplemented in JSBSim::FGOutputFile, and JSBSim::FGOutputSocket.

Definition at line 129 of file FGOutputType.h.

◆ SetOutputProperties()

void JSBSim::FGOutputType::SetOutputProperties ( std::vector< FGPropertyNode_ptr > & outputProperties )

Set the list of properties that should be output for this output instance.

Parameters

outputProperties list of properties that should be output

Definition at line 225 of file FGOutputType.cpp.

◆ SetRateHz()

void JSBSim::FGOutputType::SetRateHz ( double rtHz )

Set the output rate for this output instances.

Parameters

rtHz	new output rate in Hz

Definition at line 204 of file FGOutputType.cpp.

◆ SetStartNewOutput()

virtual void JSBSim::FGOutputType::SetStartNewOutput ( void )

inlinevirtual

Reset the output prior to a restart of the simulation.

This method should be called when the simulation is restarted with, for example, new initial conditions. When this method is executed the output instance can take special actions such as closing the current output file and open a new one with a different name.

Reimplemented in JSBSim::FGOutputFile.

Definition at line 163 of file FGOutputType.h.

◆ SetSubSystems()

void JSBSim::FGOutputType::SetSubSystems ( int subSystems )

inline

Set the activated subsystems for this output instance.

Parameters

subSystems	bitfield that describes the activated subsystems
outputProperties	list of properties that should be output

Definition at line 117 of file FGOutputType.h.

◆ Toggle()

bool JSBSim::FGOutputType::Toggle ( void )

inline

Toggles the output generation.

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

Definition at line 172 of file FGOutputType.h.
