pPrecision	precision of the extractor

virtual void AL::ALExtractor::unsubscribe

(

const std::string &

pSubscribedName

)

[virtual]

virtual void AL::ALExtractor::updatePeriod	(	const std::string &	pSubscribedName,
		const int &	pPeriod
	)		[virtual]

Called by the "client" to update the periode.

Parameters:

pSubscribedName	Name of the client module
pPeriod	period of the extractor

virtual void AL::ALExtractor::updatePrecision	(	const std::string &	pSubscribedName,
		const float &	pPrecision
	)		[virtual]

Called by the "client" to update the precision.

Parameters:

virtual void AL::ALExtractor::xStartDetection	(	const int	pPeriod,
		const float	pPrecision
	)		[protected, pure virtual]

What the extractor shall do to start detection.

This method is called only once: when the first module subscribes.

Parameters:

pPeriod	period of the extractor
pPrecision	precision of the extractor

virtual void AL::ALExtractor::xStopDetection

(

)

[protected, pure virtual]

What the extractor shall do to stop detection.

this method is called only once: when the last module unsubscribes.

virtual void AL::ALExtractor::xUpdateParameters	(	const int	pPeriod,
		const float	pPrecision
	)		[protected, virtual]

updates fCurrentParameters from fSubscribedList.

This method is called each time the parameters has changed because of a new subscribtion or unsubscription or when a module calls updatePeriod or updatePrecision.

Parameters:

pPeriod	period of the extractor
pPrecision	precision of the extractor
