Task Datatypes

OcaTaskID

using OcaTaskID = OcaUint32

ID of a Task (i.e. ID of an instance of the OcaTask datatype)

OcaTaskGroupID

using OcaTaskGroupID = OcaUint16

ID of an OcaTaskGroup object.

OcaTaskStatus

struct OcaTaskStatus

Status of an OcaTask: task state plus a nonspecific blob named Parameter which the application can use, or not.

  • The initial value of Parameter is null.

  • The controller sets the value of Parameter via the Control() method.

  • If the task’s state changes due to an internal event (examples: task duration value reached; or failure due to an error), Parameter is not changed.

OcaTaskID ID

ID of the task to which this state descriptor applies.

OcaTaskState State

State of the task - running, stopped, etc.

OcaUint16 ErrorCode

Error code. Value is application-specific.

OcaTaskState

enum OcaTaskState : uint8_t

States of OcaTask object. State values change as a result of the object’s having received a comment or encountering processing events (e.g. completion).

enumerator None = 0

No (invalid) encoding.

enumerator NotPrepared = 1

Task is constructed but not initialized.

enumerator Disabled = 2

Task is initialized but not available to run.

enumerator Enabled = 3

Task is available for running.

enumerator Running = 4

Task is running.

enumerator Completed = 5

Task has terminated successfully.

enumerator Failed = 6

Task has terminated unsuccessfully.

enumerator Stopped = 7

Task was gracefully stopped by a Stop command.

enumerator Aborted = 8

Task was forcibly terminated by an Abort command.

OcaTask

struct OcaTask

An execution thread that runs an AES70 Program. Programs are OcaLibrary volumes that contain application-specific execution instructions.

OcaTaskID ID

Task ID - assigned by OcaTaskManager

OcaString Label
OcaLibVolIdentifier ProgramID

ID of program this task was given or null if it’s idle.

OcaTaskGroupID GroupID

ID of group the task is in, or zero if it isn’t in a group

OcaTimeMode TimeMode

Absolute or Relative time.

OcaONo TimeSourceONo

ONo of relevant OcaTimeSource object or zero to use device time (see OcaDeviceTimeManager ).

OcaTimePTP StartTime

Time at which to start task, or zero if task will be manually started. If TimeMode=Relative , the actual event start time equals the value of StartTime plus the absolute time that StartTime was most recently set. Datatype shall depend on value of TimeUnits : - If TimeUnits is seconds, datatype shall be OcaTimePTP; - If TimeUnits is samples, datatype shall be OcaUint64 . If TimeMode=Absolute , the actual event start time equals the value of StartTime

OcaTimePTP Duration

Duration of task execution, or zero to run until complete or explicitly stopped.

OcaBlob ApplicationSpecificParameters

Arbitrary application-specific parameters for the Task and its Program.

OcaTaskCommand

enum OcaTaskCommand : uint8_t

Commands controllers can send to OcaTasks to change their states

enumerator None = 0

No (invalid) encoding.

enumerator Prepare = 1

Initialize task. If successful, resulting task state is Disabled . In this state, a prescheduled task will not automatically run, nor can the task be started with a Start command.

enumerator Enable = 2

Make task available for scheduled or manual start. If successful, resulting task state is Enabled . In this state, the task can be started manually or at a scheduled time.

enumerator Start = 3

Start task execution immediately. If successful, resulting task state is Running .

enumerator Stop = 4

Stop task gracefully. If successful, resulting task state is Stopped .

enumerator Abort = 5

Unconditionally terminate task immediately. Resulting task status is Aborted .

enumerator Disable = 6

Place task into Disabled state. In this state, a prescheduled task will not automatically run, nor can the task be started with a Start command.

enumerator Clear = 7

De-initialize task. Place it into the NotPrepared state.

OcaTaskManagerState

enum OcaTaskManagerState : uint8_t

States of OcaTaskManager object. These states represent the overall state of task processing in the device.

  • Device task processing state is Enabled by default. In Enabled state, tasks may be running.

  • Device task processing state may be Disabled by the OcaTaskManager Disable command.

  • The Disable command will succeed only if no tasks are running.

Tasks may be stopped by:

  • passing the OcaTaskManager a Stop or Abort command, which will stop all tasks in the device; or

  • passing a Stop or Abort command to each OcaTaskGroup agent, which will stop all the tasks in the given task groups; or

  • passing a Stop or Abort command to each task individually.

enumerator None = 0

No (invalid) encoding.

enumerator Enabled = 1

Task processing is enabled. Tasks may be running.

enumerator Disabled = 2

Task processing is disabled. No tasks are running.

OcaRamperInterpolationLaw

enum OcaRamperInterpolationLaw : uint8_t

Interpolation law for ramper to use.

enumerator Linear = 1

Linear interpolation law

enumerator ReverseLinear = 2

Reverse linear interpolation law

enumerator Sine = 3

Sine interpolation law

enumerator Exponential = 4

Exponential interpolation law
