State transitions

enum states
enum with the different possible states - these are common to all PU!!!
static const char* pcStates[]
the names of the state transitions as static const char*
int setState(int state )
Sets the state to the new state given by the enum int
int setState( const char *pcState )
Sets the state to the new state given by the name of the state
int getState()
Returns the state to the new state as enum int
const char* getcState()
Returns the state to the new state as a string
static int setStateAndUpdateStage( const char *pcPuGroup, const char *pcNewState )
Function that searches for a named PU (or group of PUs), sets its STT to the pcNewState and updates the ProcessStage at the same time
virtual functions for generic configuring, starting/updating/continuing a state transition

Documentation

Proxy object for the ndd_event_server. This is the server that receives the data from the crate controller and puts them into the DD pool. Communication with the server is done through a shared memory obtained with the help of a token.
The following actions happen at the state transitions:

initialise: the server is forked off at the default port. The shared memory segment has a flag, which tells the run control whether the server has started successfully. If not, then the port number is incremented up to a maximum number of tries (currently 10 - variable nPortScan). The socket that has been negotiated in this way is being passed to the readout object, which sets up the connection from the crate controller end.
download, start_run and stop_run: nothing is done.
