XScope¶
The XScope Demonstrator is kind of an “add-On” tool, to debug other Demonstrators. Several
variant of the XScope are foreseen: a basic version, and possible some “subclasses” to tailor for specific
Demonstrators.
Possible a generic one will become available once.
The (base) XScope is like an “oscilloscope”, for DDS-messages. It a passive tool, and only listening to topics. It will frequently “collect” samples of the (configured, list of) Topics and store/print/show them. When the value of (a part of) a Topic in numeric, it should be able to draw them on a time-scale. A very-basic version this draw-feature is allowed to do “off-line”, by example via an Excel (export to csv and draw later in Excel). By design, this XScope-tool should extendable. The basic functionality should be in the base-XScope; an optional, flexible adaptation-layer (towards a future DDS-Demonstrator) can be used later – by example to “find” the above mentioned numeric value in a Topic The “List of Topics” to monitor is preferable configurable; both in (eg. an) ini-file and on the commandline (without referring to a file). |
