<h1>PvaClientMonitor</h1>
<p>
<b>NOTE:</b> This is a work in progress.
</p>
<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>
This provides an easier way to create a monitor on a channel than to use pvAccessCPP itself.
It provides two main ways to create a monitor:
</p>
<h3>The client first creates a PvaClientMonitorChannel and then creates a monitor</h3>
The client calls:
<pre>
static PvaClientMonitorPtr create(
PvaClientMonitorPtr const &amp;PvaClientMonitor,
PvaClientMonitorChannelPtr const &amp; PvaClientMonitorChannel,
epics::pvData::PVStructurePtr const &amp;pvRequest
);
where
PvaClientMonitor
The PvaClientMonitor.
PvaClientMonitorChannel
The PvaClientMonitorChannel that has already been created by the client.
pvRequest
The pvRequest for creating the monitor.
</pre>
With this method the monitor is created and started.
This method blocks while the monitor is created.
<h3>The client provides names for a channel and a provider</h3>
The client calls:
<pre>
static PvaClientMonitorPtr create(
PvaClientMonitorPtr const &amp;PvaClientMonitor,
std::string const &amp; channelName,
std::string const &amp; providerName,
std::string const &amp; request,
PvaClientMonitorChannelStateChangeRequesterPtr const &amp; stateChangeRequester,
PvaClientMonitorRequesterPtr const &amp; monitorRequester
);
where
PvaClientMonitor
The PvaClientMonitor.
channelName
The name of the channel.
providerName
The name of the provider
request
The request for creating the monitor
stateChangeRequester
The client supplied state change requester.
This will be called each time a state change for the channel occurs.
monitorRequester
The client supplied monitor requester.
This is called each time a new monitor event is available.
</pre>
With this method a pvaChannel is created and after it connects a pvaMonitor is created and started.
This method never blocks.
