Member Function Documentation

CreateVirtualDevice()

VirtualDeviceAdapter GLNeuroTech.Devices.Common.DeviceManager< T >.CreateVirtualDevice

(

Stream

inputStream

)

Creates a virtual device with a file as a backing store.

Parameters

inputStream

The stream containing the input data.

Returns

An VirtualDeviceAdapter object.

CreateVirtualDevice can be used to create a VirtualDeviceAdapter that can be used to read data from a file as opposed to a real connected device. No physical device is required to use this method. This is useful for debugging or loading raw data from a file downloaded from the

GetBluetoothDevice() [1/2]

virtual T GLNeuroTech.Devices.Common.DeviceManager< T >.GetBluetoothDevice ( long  macID )

virtual

Retrieves a reference to a T device based on a bluetooth connection. Use of this method requires a bluetooth radio installed on the host PC.

Parameters

macID

The address of the bluetooth device

Returns

Reimplemented in GLNeuroTech.Devices.BioRadio.BioRadioDeviceManager.

GetBluetoothDevice() [2/2]

T GLNeuroTech.Devices.Common.DeviceManager< T >.GetBluetoothDevice

(

string

deviceId

)

Retrieves a reference to a T device based on a bluetooth connection. Use of this method requires a bluetooth radio installed on the host PC.

Parameters

deviceId

The address of the bluetooth device

Returns

GetDeviceByComPort()

virtual T GLNeuroTech.Devices.Common.DeviceManager< T >.GetDeviceByComPort ( string  comPort )

virtual

Returns a device based on a predetermined serial COM port name.

Parameters

comPort

Returns

A device object of type T

GetDeviceByTcpAddress()

virtual T GLNeuroTech.Devices.Common.DeviceManager< T >.GetDeviceByTcpAddress ( string  hostname, int  port  )

virtual

Returns the device connected at the specified hostname and port

Parameters

hostname	The address of the device.
port	The port on which the device is listening

Returns

A reference to the device.
