Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
TcpProxyInterface	getTcpProxy()
boolean	isCANDevicesReady()
boolean	isCWrapperConnected() This method returns true if the C-Wrapper is connected to the tcp proxy.

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.

Returns:

isRealHardware

boolean isRealHardware()

Returns:

true if this bridge is connected with real hardware, false if the hardware is simulated.

isCANDevicesReady

boolean isCANDevicesReady()

Returns:

true if the hardware is booted, identified.

getTcpProxy

TcpProxyInterface getTcpProxy()

startServer

void startServer()

startThreadReader

void startThreadReader()

readPDOs

PDOStorage readPDOs()
