mrpt::hwdrivers::CNTRIPEmitter Class Referenceabstract

Detailed Description

This "virtual driver" encapsulates a NTRIP client (see CNTRIPClient) but adds the functionality of dumping the received datastream to a given serial port.

Used within rawlog-grabber, along CGPSInterface, this class allows to build a powerful & simple RTK-capable GPS receiver system.

Therefore, this sensor will never "collect" any observation via the CGenericSensor interface.

See also the example configuration file for rawlog-grabber in "share/mrpt/config_files/rawlog-grabber".

PARAMETERS IN THE ".INI"-LIKE CONFIGURATION STRINGS:

§ appendObservation()

void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::appendObservation ( const mrpt::utils::CSerializablePtr obj)

Like appendObservations() but for just one observation.

Definition at line 146 of file CGenericSensor.h.

§ appendObservations()

void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::appendObservations ( const std::vector< mrpt::utils::CSerializablePtr > &  obj)
protectedinherited

This method must be called by derived classes to enqueue a new observation in the list to be returned by getObservations.

Passed objects must be created in dynamic memory and a smart pointer passed. Example of creation:

mrpt::obs::CObservationGPSPtr o = CObservationGPSPtr( new CObservationGPS() );
o-> .... // Set data

If several observations are passed at once in the vector, they'll be considered as a block regarding the grabbing decimation factor.

§ createSensor()

static CGenericSensor* mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::createSensor ( const std::string &  className)
