Module Fac

- -

This module contains the FAC classes.

- - - -
- -

1) Fac#FAC_BASE class, extends Base#BASE

-

The Fac#FAC_BASE class defines the core functions to report detected objects to clients. -Reportings can be done in several manners, and it is up to the derived classes if FAC_BASE to model the reporting behaviour.

- -

1.1) FAC_BASE constructor:

-

* Fac#FAC_BASE.New(): Create a new FAC_BASE instance.

- -

1.2) FAC_BASE reporting:

-

Derived FAC_BASE classes will reports detected units using the method Fac#FAC_BASE.ReportDetected(). This method implements polymorphic behaviour.

- -

The time interval in seconds of the reporting can be changed using the methods Fac#FAC_BASE.SetReportInterval(). -To control how long a reporting message is displayed, use Fac#FAC_BASE.SetReportDisplayTime(). -Derived classes need to implement the method Fac#FAC_BASE.GetReportDisplayTime() to use the correct display time for displayed messages during a report.

- -

Reporting can be started and stopped using the methods Fac#FAC_BASE.StartReporting() and Fac#FAC_BASE.StopReporting() respectively. -If an ad-hoc report is requested, use the method Fac#FAC_BASE().

- -

The default reporting interval is every 60 seconds. The reporting messages are displayed 15 seconds.

- -
- -

2) Fac#FAC_REPORTING class, extends Fac#FAC_BASE

-

The Fac#FAC_REPORTING class implements detected units reporting. Reporting can be controlled using the reporting methods available in the Fac#FAC_BASE class.

- -

2.1) FAC_REPORTING constructor:

-

The Fac#FAC_REPORTING.New() method creates a new FAC_REPORTING instance.
