Method Detail

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

exportPreferences

public void exportPreferences(java.io.OutputStream os)

Description copied from interface: BiasgenPreferences

export the prefered values to an OutputStream

Specified by:

exportPreferences in interface BiasgenPreferences

public void importPreferences(java.io.InputStream is)

Description copied from interface: BiasgenPreferences

import prefs from an InputStream

Specified by:

importPreferences in interface BiasgenPreferences

loadPreferences

public void loadPreferences()

Description copied from interface: BiasgenPreferences

load the stored preferred values -- e.g. revert to the last stored values

Specified by:

addPot

public boolean addPot(Pot pot)

add a pot to the end of the list. The biasgen is also added as an observer for changes in the pot.

Parameters:

pot - an Pot

Returns:

true

getPotByName

public Pot getPotByName(java.lang.String name)

Get an Pot by name.

Parameters:

name - name of pot as assigned in Pot

Returns:

the Pot, or null if there isn't one named that

setAllToBitValue

public void setAllToBitValue(int val)

sets all pots to the same value. Does not notify observers but does call biasgen.resend() after all pots are changed.

Parameters:

val - the bitValue

getPotByNumber

public Pot getPotByNumber(int number)

Get an Pot by number in PotArray. For on-chip biasgen design kit biases, first entry is last one in shift register.

Parameters:

number - name of pot as assigned in Pot

Returns:

the Pot, or null if there isn't one at that array position.

getNumPots

public int getNumPots()

gets the number of ipots in this array

Returns:

the number of pots

getPots

public java.util.ArrayList<Pot> getPots()

setPots

public void setPots(java.util.ArrayList<Pot> pots)
