TRestRawMemoryBufferToSignalProcess Class Reference

Detailed Description

A process to read a shared buffer created by another external process and create a TRestRawSignalEvent

TRestRawMemoryBufferToSignalProcess gets access to an existing buffer as a shared resource that should have been previously created by an external process.

The daq system generating/filling the data frames must create and fill two shared resources.

  1. A daqInfo structure defining basic metadata information related to the status and limits of the buffer and the event info corresponding to the buffer. The members of daqInfo are described in the structure documentation. One of this members is particularly relevant for the interaction of the daq and this process.
    • *dataReady* : It allows to interact with the daq filling the buffer. When the daq sets dataReady=2, this process knows that all data has been filled and we can extract the information in order to fill the TRestRawSignalEvent. Once this process has finished extracting the event data, it will re-set dataReady=0.
  2. A *buffer* that contains the data frame information required to fill a TRestRawSignalEvent. Each signal should contain (maxSamples + 1) values per signal, the first sample corresponding with the daq channel number produced by the daq or electronic cards, to identify the channel. The next samples are the ones corresponding to the sampled detector data. The information inside daqInfo allows to determine the number of valid signals, nSignals, that were written to the buffer.

The metadata parameters this process accepts allow to obtain access to the shared resources created by the daq. The same numbers will be used by the daq to create the resource. The resources are two pointers to the shared memory regions, and a semaphore id to control unique access to these resources.

Todo:
We could have two semaphores, one to access the buffer and one to access the daqInfo structure.
