Field Detail

table

public Parameter table

The code table. Its value is a token of type ArrayToken. The array provides the symbol values to produce on the output. The number of values in this array must be at least 2^wordLength, or an exception will be thrown. The number of tokens consumed by this actor when it fires is log₂(tableSize), where tableSize is the length of the table. If all of these values are false, then the first array entry is produced as an output. If only the first one is true, then then second array value is produced. In general, the N inputs consumed are taken to be a binary digit that indexes the array, where the first input is taken to be the low-order bit of the array. The default code table has two entries, -1.0 and 1.0, so that input false values are mapped to -1.0, and input true values are mapped to +1.0.

wordLength

public Parameter wordLength

The word length is the number of boolean inputs that are consumed to construct an index into the table. Its value is an IntToken, with default value one.

Constructor Detail

LineCoder

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

Construct an actor with the given container and name.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this actor.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.

Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone(Workspace workspace)
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Clone the actor into the specified workspace. This calls the base class and then resets the type constraints.

Overrides:

clone in class TypedAtomicActor

Parameters:

workspace - The workspace for the new object.

Returns:

A new actor.

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - If a derived class contains an attribute that cannot be cloned.

NamedObj.exportMoML(Writer, int, String), NamedObj.setDeferringChangeRequests(boolean)

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException

Consume the inputs and produce the corresponding symbol.

Specified by:

fire in interface Executable

Overrides:

fire in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If a runtime type error occurs.

preinitialize

public void preinitialize()
                   throws IllegalActionException

Set up the consumption constant.

Specified by:

preinitialize in interface Initializable

Overrides:

preinitialize in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the length of the table is not a power of two.
