Method Detail

isCWrapperConnected

boolean isCWrapperConnected()

This method returns true if the C-Wrapper is connected to the tcp proxy. The C-Wrapper has to send the tcpProxy clientName as a keyword before any communication can begin. So if the C-Wrapper doesn't send the good keyword or if it doesn't connect to the tcp proxy, this method returns false.

isHardwareReady

boolean isHardwareReady()

returns true if the hardware is booted, identified and initialized.
