Method Detail

fetchSample

public void fetchSample(float[] dst,
                        int off)

Fetches a sample from the sensors and updates array with minimum and maximum values when the calibration process is running.

Specified by:

fetchSample in interface SampleProvider

Overrides:

fetchSample in class AbstractFilter

Parameters:

dst - The array to store the sample in.

off - The elements of the sample are stored in the array starting at the offset position.

setTimeConstant

public void setTimeConstant(float timeConstant)

Sets the time constant for the lowpass filter that is used when calibrating.
A value of zero will effectivly disable the lowpass filter. Higher values will remove more noise from the signal and give better results, especially when calibraating for scale. The downside of higher timeConstants is that calibrating takes more time.

Parameters:

timeConstant - between 0 and 1

startCalibration

public void startCalibration()

Starts a calibration proces. Resets collected minimum and maximum values. After starting calibration new minimum and maximum values are calculated on each fetched sample. From this calibration parameters can be calculated.

Specified by:

startCalibration in interface Calibrate

stopCalibration

public void stopCalibration()

Halts the process of updating calibration parameters.

Specified by:

stopCalibration in interface Calibrate

suspendCalibration

public void suspendCalibration()

Halts the process of updating calibration parameters.

resumeCalibration

public void resumeCalibration()

Resumes the process of updating calibration parameters after a stop.

getFile

private java.io.File getFile(java.lang.String filename)

load

protected void load(java.lang.String filename)
             throws java.io.IOException

Loads calibration parameters from the file system.
This method raises an exception when the stored calibration parameters do not match the sensors or the calibration class.

Parameters:

filename - filename of the stored calibration parameters

Throws:

java.io.IOException - Exception

store

protected void store(java.lang.String filename)

Saves the current set of calibration parameters to the file system.

Calibration files are stored in /home/root/sensorCalibration/filename

Parameters:

filename - Name of the file to store calibration parameters in.

getPropertyArray

protected float[] getPropertyArray(java.lang.String key)

setPropertyArray

protected void setPropertyArray(java.lang.String key,
                                float[] values)

setProperty

protected void setProperty(java.lang.String key,
                           float value)

getProperty

protected float getProperty(java.lang.String key)
