public class QuantizedSampler
extends Transformer

Output the input if the signal has changed more than a quantum value since the last input.

This quantizer is designed to take an input signal and send it to its output port if the signal has changed by more than a quantum relative to the last signal seen at the input port.

The number of outputs produced by this actor is dependent on the input values, so it should not be used with domains like SDF.

Field Detail

quantum

public Parameter quantum

The quantum. The default value is a double with the value 1.0, which means that if the input changes by more than 1.0, the new output will be produced.

Constructor Detail

QuantizedSampler

public QuantizedSampler(CompositeEntity container,
                        java.lang.String name)
                 throws IllegalActionException,
                        NameDuplicationException

Construct a new instance of the quantizer.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If setting up ports and parameters fails.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already contains an object with this name.

Method Detail

attributeChanged

public void attributeChanged(Attribute attribute)
                      throws IllegalActionException

If the argument is the quantum parameter, then cache the value.

Overrides:

attributeChanged in class NamedObj

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute that changed.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If there is a problem getting the value of the quantum parameter.

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException

Produce an output equal to the input if the input has crossed the quantum; otherwise, produce no output.

Specified by:

fire in interface Executable

Overrides:

fire in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If sending an output fails.

initialize

public void initialize()
                throws IllegalActionException

Initialize this actor.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Initializable

Overrides:

initialize in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If a derived class throws it.
