Component Examples

Example	Brief Description
AmsSeq	Antenna Mount System Pointing Model
Building	Implements an hierarchical device using Door.
Calendar	Simulates the behavior of a calendar using enums and pattern properties.
Door	Door is a simple component that utilizes just about every ACS API.
Fridge	FridgeControl shows BACI threads as well as a notification channel supplier.
Hello World	ACS Hello World example.
Lamp	Simple component with asynchronous methods.
Mount	Simulates the behavior of an antenna interface.
Power Supply	Simulates the behavior of a power supply and overwrites an ACS property.
Ramped Power Supply	Simulates the behavior of a ramped power supply by inheriting from Power Supply's IDL interface and C++ implementation.

Example	Brief Description
Client Hello World	A very simple client which interacts with the Hello World component.
Client List Components	Lists all static components known to manager.
Client	Logs into manager and manipulates mount components. Invokes an asynchronous method.
Client Wave	Within a BACI thread, a mount component's positions follow a sine wave.
Client AmsSeq	Obtains a reference to an AmsSeq component's pointing model, prints it, and then changes it.
Client Fridge Command	Commands specified from the command-line are invoked on a fridge component.
Client Fridge	Creates a BACI monitor using callbacks (running for 20 seconds) on the temperature property of a fridge component.
Client Fridge Channel Event Consumer	Shows the implementation of an event channel consumer consuming events from a fridge component.
Client Alarm Thread	Creates a BACI alarm set to go off when the value of a power supply's read-only double property goes out of range. This value "goes out of range" within a BACI thread.
Client Dynamic Component	Simple example retrieves a dynamic Hello World component from manager.
Client Component IOR	Prints out the stringified IOR of a component specified from the command-line.

Example	Brief Description
BACI Callback and Alarm Implementations	The C++ implementations of various BACI IDL interfaces is shown here.
DevIO Implementation	The implementation of a DevIO subclass is shown here.
Overriding BACI Properties	The BACI property of a Power Supply is overriden in this example.

Documentation missing or outdated in a few clients still.
Rename files in ../test/ref_WS/*
ContainerServices NULL pointer in building example.
Substate property in the door example should be an enumeration!
yearAttributes property in Calendar should be a RWlong!
FridgeControl implementation should contain a PowerSupply and Door
badMethod of HelloWorld IDL interface needs to be upgraded to the new ACS Error System.
rampingStatus property should in RPS should be an enum.
RPS interface should be moved into IDL for PS???
AmsSeq and Mount should be moved into the same IDL
defines in acsexmplPowerSupplyImpl.h should be moved to the class as public const static integers to comply w/ coding standards.
defines in acsexmplRampedPowerSupplyImpl.h should be moved to the class as public const static integers to comply w/ coding standards.
