TypeScript driver

Overview

The instrument TypeScript driver is written in line with the instrument C++ driver.

Example

For the following C++ driver:

class LedBlinker {
    #...
    uint32_t get_leds() {
        return ctl.read<reg::led>();
    }
    #...
}

The matching TypeScript driver is:

class LedBlinker {
    private driver: Driver;
    private id: number;
    private cmds: HashTable<ICommand>;

    constructor (private client: Client) {
        this.driver = this.client.getDriver('LedBlinker');
        this.id = this.driver.id;
        this.cmds = this.driver.getCmds();
    }

    getLeds(cb: (value: number) => void): void {
        this.client.readUint32(Command(this.id, this.cmds['get_leds']),
                                 (value) => {cb(value)});
    }
}

Available functions

Write

send(command)

Example

C++ driver:

void set_led(uint32_t index, bool status) {
    ctl.write_bit_reg(reg::led, index, status);
}

TypeScript driver:

setLed(index:number, status: boolean): void {
    this.client.send(Command(this.id, this.cmds['set_led'], index, status));
}

Read unsigned-integers

readUint32(cmd: CmdMessage, fn: (x: number) => void): void

Example

C++ driver:

uint32_t get_leds() {
    return ctl.read<reg::led>();
}

TypeScript driver:

getLeds(cb: (value: number) => void): void {
    this.client.readUint32(Command(this.id, this.cmds['get_leds']), (value) => {cb(value)});
}

Read signed-integers

readInt32(cmd: CmdMessage, fn: (x: number) => void): void

Read arrays

readUint32Array(cmd: CmdMessage, fn: (x: Uint32Array) => void): void

readFloat32Array(cmd: CmdMessage, fn: (x: Float32Array) => void): void

readFloat64Array(cmd: CmdMessage, fn: (x: Float64Array) => void): void

Read vectors

readUint32Vector(cmd: CmdMessage, fn: (x: Uint32Array) => void): void

readFloat32Vector(cmd: CmdMessage, fn: (x: Float32Array) => void): void

readFloat64Vector(cmd: CmdMessage, fn: (x: Float64Array) => void): void

Example

C++ driver:

std::vector<float>& get_decimated_data(uint32_t decim_factor, uint32_t index_low, uint32_t index_high) {
    //...
}

TypeScript driver:

getDecimatedData(callback: (data: number[][], range: jquery.flot.range) => void): void {
    this.client.readFloat32Vector(
        Command(this.id, this.cmds['get_decimated_data'], 1, this.indexLow, this.indexHigh), (array) => {
            //...
            callback(data, range);
    });
}

Read booleans

readBool(cmd: CmdMessage, fn: (x: boolean) => void): void

Read tuples

readTuple(cmd: CmdMessage, format: string, fn: (x: any[]) => void): void

Available format: * 'I': unsigned 32-bit integer * 'i': signed 32-bit integer * 'B': unsigned 8-bit integer * 'b': signed 8-bit integer * 'f': 32-bit floating point * 'd': 64-bit double precision * '?': boolean

Example

C++ driver:

auto get_status() {
    //...
    return std::make_tuple(
        laser_on,
        current,
        measured_current,
        measured_power
    );
}

TypeScript driver:

getStatus(callback: (status: LaserStatus) => void): void {
    this.client.readTuple(Command(this.id, this.cmds['get_status']), '?fff',
                            (tup: [boolean, number, number, number]) => {
        //...
        callback(status);
    });
}
