Method Summary

boolean	getInverted() Get the inverted state.
int	getKnownState() Known state on layout is a bound parameter
int	getState() Implement a shorter name for getKnownState.
void	setInverted(boolean inverted) Control whether the actual sensor input is considered to be inverted, e.g. the normal electrical signal that results in an ACTIVE state now results in an INACTIVE state.
void	setKnownState(int s) Potentially allow the user to set the known state on the layout.
void	setOwnState(int s) Set out internal state information, and notify bean listeners.
void	setState(int s) Implement a shorter name for setKnownState.

Method Detail

getKnownState

public int getKnownState()

Description copied from interface: Sensor

Known state on layout is a bound parameter

Specified by:

getKnownState in interface Sensor

Returns:

known state value

setKnownState

public void setKnownState(int s)
                   throws JmriException

Description copied from interface: Sensor

Potentially allow the user to set the known state on the layout. This might not always be available, depending on the limits of the underlying system and implementation.

Specified by:

setKnownState in interface Sensor

Throws:

JmriException

setOwnState

public void setOwnState(int s)

Set out internal state information, and notify bean listeners.

setState

public void setState(int s)
              throws JmriException

Implement a shorter name for setKnownState.

This generally shouldn't be used by Java code; use setKnownState instead. The is provided to make Jython script access easier to read.

Specified by:

setState in interface NamedBean

Throws:

JmriException - general error when cant do the needed operation

getState

public int getState()

Implement a shorter name for getKnownState.

This generally shouldn't be used by Java code; use getKnownState instead. The is provided to make Jython script access easier to read.

Specified by:

getState in interface NamedBean

setInverted

public void setInverted(boolean inverted)

Control whether the actual sensor input is considered to be inverted, e.g. the normal electrical signal that results in an ACTIVE state now results in an INACTIVE state.

Specified by:

setInverted in interface Sensor

getInverted

public final boolean getInverted()

Get the inverted state. If true, the electrical signal that results in an ACTIVE state now results in an INACTIVE state.

Used in polling loops in system-specific code, so made final to allow optimization.

Specified by:

getInverted in interface Sensor
