Class AbstractData

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Descriptive
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    ExperimentalData, HeatingCurve, NumericPulseData
    public abstract class AbstractData
extends PropertyHolder
    A named collection of time and temperature values, with user-adjustable number of entries.

    The notion of temperature is loosely used here, and this can represent just the detector signal in mV. Unless explicitly specified otherwise, the unit of the temperature can be arbitrary, and only the shape of the heating curve matters when calculating the reverse solution of the heat problem.

        public AbstractData​(AbstractData d)
        Copy constructor. Copies all data and assigns the same name to this.
        Parameters:
        d - another instance of this class

      • AbstractData

        public AbstractData()
        Creates an AbstractData with the default number of points (set in the corresponding XML file).

      • AbstractData

        public AbstractData​(NumericProperty count)
        Creates a AbstractData, where the number of elements in the time and temperature collections are set to count.getValue().

        Parameters:
        count - The NumericProperty that is derived from the NumericPropertyKeyword.NUMPOINTS.

        public int actualNumPoints()
        The actual number of points, explicitly calculated as the size of the internal lists.
        Returns:
        an integer size equal to the real number of elements (pairs)

      • clear

        public void clear()
        Clears all elements from the three List objects, thus releasing memory.

      • getNumPoints

        public final NumericProperty getNumPoints()
        Getter method providing accessibility to the count NumericProperty.
        Returns:
        a NumericProperty derived from NumericPropertyKeyword.NUMPOINTS with the value of count

      • setNumPoints

        public final void setNumPoints​(NumericProperty c)
        Sets the number of points for this baseline.

        The List data objects, containing time, temperature, and baseline-subtracted temperature are filled with zeroes.

        Parameters:
        c -

      • timeAt

        public double timeAt​(int index)
        Retrieves an element from the time List specified by index
        Parameters:
        index - the index of the element to be returned
        Returns:
        a time value corresponding to index

      • timeLimit

        public double timeLimit()
        Retrieves the last element of the time List. This is used e.g. by the DifferenceScheme to set the calculation limit for the finite-difference scheme.
        Returns:
        a double, equal to the last element of the time List.
        See Also:
        DifferenceScheme

      • signalAt

        public double signalAt​(int index)
        Retrieves the signal value corresponding to the index index. Is overriden by subclasses.
        Parameters:
        index - the index of the element
        Returns:
        a double, representing the signal at index

      • addPoint

        public void addPoint​(double time,
                     double sgn)
        Adds a time-signal pair to the lists.
        Parameters:
        time - the time value
        sgn - the signal value at time

      • incrementCount

        t - the new signal value at this index

      • apparentMaximum

        public final double apparentMaximum()
        Calculates the simple maximum signal.
