Detailed Description

A thread collecting samples at regular intervals.

Continuous signals are converted into a discrete signal by collecting samples at regular intervals. A discrete signal can be displayed by a QwtPlotSeriesItem on a QwtPlot widget.

QwtSamplingThread starts a thread calling periodically sample(), to collect and store ( or emit ) a single sample.

Member Function Documentation

◆ elapsed()

double QwtSamplingThread::elapsed ( ) const

Returns: Time (in ms) since the thread was started

See also: QThread::start(), run()

Definition at line 62 of file qwt_sampling_thread.cpp.

◆ interval()

double QwtSamplingThread::interval ( ) const

Returns: Interval (in ms), between 2 calls of sample()

See also: setInterval()

Definition at line 53 of file qwt_sampling_thread.cpp.

◆ run()

void QwtSamplingThread::run ( )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Loop collecting samples started from QThread::start()

See also: stop()

Definition at line 83 of file qwt_sampling_thread.cpp.

◆ sample()

virtual void QwtSamplingThread::sample ( double elapsed )

protectedpure virtual

Collect a sample

Parameters

elapsed Time since the thread was started in seconds

Note: Due to a bug in previous version elapsed was passed as seconds instead of miliseconds. To avoid breaking existing code we stay with seconds for now.

◆ setInterval

void QwtSamplingThread::setInterval ( double msecs )

slot

Change the interval (in ms), when sample() is called. The default interval is 1000.0 ( = 1s )

Parameters

msecs Interval

See also: interval()

Definition at line 41 of file qwt_sampling_thread.cpp.

◆ stop

void QwtSamplingThread::stop ( )

slot

Terminate the collecting thread

See also: QThread::start(), run()

Definition at line 74 of file qwt_sampling_thread.cpp.
