Process data management

    Hi everyone,
    I've got an application handling "ProcessData"... I can't find how to manage them through java (Creating, deleting, modifying), only reading is available.


    Any information? Documentation?


    Thanks.
    Regards.

    How to use process data is not explicitly described in the manual, this is true.
    [list type=decimal]

    • you have to preconfigure the process data you want in the RoboticsAPI.data.xml. Take a look at the RoboticsAPI.data.ProcessDataExample.xml

    • synchonize project

    • use the process data in your robot application (there is a little example in the manual. Chapter 8.3.2 (V1.14)) or on the HMI.

    [/list]

    You can read/write from the java code, but to add/delete, edit the XML file directly (at least that's what I do).


    You can have these types in the ProcessData XML file: Integer, Double, String and Boolean.

    Check the file "RoboticsAPI.data.ProcessDataExample.xml" to get the gist of it.


    To add your own process data, go to the end of your "RoboticsAPI.data.xml" file, just underneath </objectTemplates> put something like:

    Code
    </objectTemplates>
<processDataContainer>
            <processData displayName="Application Delay" dataType="java.lang.Integer" defaultValue="6" id="DelayProcessData" min="1" max="10" value="6"/> 
</processDataContainer>
</RoboticsAPIData>



    to read it:

    Code
    int delay =  getApplicationData().getProcessData("DelayProcessData").getValue()  ;


    to modify it:

    Code
    getApplicationData().getProcessData("DelayProcessData").setValue(3); // change the mode veille animation to handGuiding one

    Hi to all, please an information about process data.

    Are they retentive after shutdown ? Or they return to the default value ?

    Thanks to all.
