Represents an output PV.
Output PVs are written by the control system and read by the device support.

Base & | operator= (const Base &right) |
Copy operator. The copy will refer to the same implementation object referenced in the copied object. More... | |
void | setExternalName (const std::string &externalName) |
Set the string to pass to the naming rules in order to build the full node name as seen by the control system. More... | |
virtual Port | getPort () |
Get the Node that communicate with the device (ASYN port on EPICS, Device on Tango). Query the parent nodes if necessary. More... | |
const std::string & | getComponentName () const |
Return the node's name. More... | |
const std::string & | getFullName () const |
Return the full node's name, prepending the parents' names if necessary (e.g. "ROOT-CHANNEL1-THISNODE") More... | |
const std::string & | getFullExternalName () const |

Returns true if the logging for a particular severity level has been enabled. More... | |
void | setLogLevel (const logLevel_t logLevel) |
Enable the logging for a particular severity level. More... | |
void | defineCommand (const std::string &command, const std::string &usage, const size_t numParameters, const command_t function) |

Additional Inherited Members | |
Protected Member Functions inherited from nds::Base | |
Base () | |
Initializes an empty base class. | |
nds::PVBaseOut::PVBaseOut | ( | ) |
Construct an empty PVBaseOut.
void nds::PVBaseOut::subscribeTo | ( | const std::string & | inputPVName | ) |
Subscribe the PV to an input PV which may be located on any other device running in the same NDS process.
When the input PV will be written by the device via a PVBaseIn::push() operation or via a PVVariableIn::setValue() then the input PV will forward the value to this PV by calling PVBaseOut::write().
inputPVName | the name of the input PV from which we want to receive the values |
