Detailed Description

Probe is an abstract class representing probes that output information on internal simulation data before or during the simulation run. Refer to the ProbeSystem class for more information.

Probe subclasses must adhere to the following rules. In this discussion, target refers to the item(s) in the simulation hierarchy from which the probe retrieves information.

• Data encapsulation: a probe can use public interfaces only, even if these interfaces are in some cases written specifically to support the probe (refer to the scenarios described in the ProbeSystem class).
• Read-only access: a probe cannot (cause to) change the data structures held by the target. There are two exceptions to this rule: (1) during its own setup, a probe can cause setup of a target through the find() or interface() functions, and (2) a probe can use a public function, provided by the target for this purpose, to install a call-back function that will be invoked by the target.
• Interprobe independence: a probe cannot look for or depend on another probe, nor on the order of the various probes in the list held by the probe system.

Member Enumeration Documentation

When

enum class Probe::When

strongprotected

This enumeration indicates when to perform probing: after setup, after the complete simulation run, or after primary/secondary emission iterations.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Probe()

Probe::Probe ( )

inlineprotected

Default constructor for abstract Item subclass Probe: "a probe".

Member Function Documentation

initialize()

virtual void Probe::initialize ( )

protectedvirtual

This function is called after the simulation has been fully setup but before the probe() function is called. It can implemented by a subclass that needs to perform some initialization that requires the simulation to be fully setup. The default implementation in this base class does nothing.

Reimplemented in LaunchedPacketsProbe.

itemName()

string Probe::itemName ( ) const

overridevirtual

This function returns the probe name as human-readable name for the simulation item, so that it can be used in log messages to identify the probe and differentiate it from other probes.

Reimplemented from SimulationItem.

iter()

int Probe::iter

(

)

const

During the execution of the probePrimary() or probeSecondary() function, this function returns the current one-based primary or secondary emission iteration index. Otherwise the function returns zero.

probe()

virtual void Probe::probe ( )

protectedpure virtual

This function must be implemented in each subclass to produce the relevant probing output. It is called either at the end of setup or at the end of the simulation run, depending on the return value of the when() function.

Implemented in ConvergenceCutsProbe, ConvergenceInfoProbe, CustomStateProbe, DensityProbe, DustAbsorptionPerCellProbe, DustEmissionWavelengthGridProbe, DustEmissivityProbe, DustGrainPopulationsProbe, DustGrainSizeDistributionProbe, InputModelFormProbe, InstrumentTimeGridProbe, InstrumentWavelengthGridProbe, LaunchedPacketsProbe, LuminosityProbe, MagneticFieldProbe, MetallicityProbe, OpacityProbe, OpticalMaterialPropertiesProbe, RadiationFieldProbe, RadiationFieldWavelengthGridProbe, SecondaryDustLuminosityProbe, SecondaryLineLuminosityProbe, SpatialCellPropertiesProbe, SpatialGridPlotProbe, SpatialGridSourceDensityProbe, TemperatureProbe, TreeSpatialGridTopologyProbe, and VelocityProbe.

probeName()

string Probe::probeName ( ) const

inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable string property probeName: "the name for this probe".

probePrimary()

void Probe::probePrimary

(

int

iter

)

This function is called at the end of each iteration over primary emission, i.e. after all photon packets have been processed and the medium state and the radiation field have been updated if needed. The function argument specifies the one-based iteration index. If when() returns Primary, this function saves the iteration index and calls probe(); otherwise it does nothing.

probeRun()

void Probe::probeRun

(

)

This function is called at the end of the run phase, i.e. after all photon packets have been emitted and detected. If when() returns Run, this function calls probe(); otherwise it does nothing.

probeSecondary()

void Probe::probeSecondary

(

int

iter

)

This function is called at the end of each iteration over secondary emission, i.e. after all photon packets have been processed and the medium state and the radiation field have been updated if needed. In some execution flows, the iteration may include both a primary and secondary emission segment. The function argument specifies the one-based iteration index. If when() returns Secondary, this function saves the iteration index and calls probe(); otherwise it does nothing.

probeSetup()

void Probe::probeSetup

(

)

This function is called at the end of the setup phase, i.e. after all simulation items have performed setup. It first calls initialize(), and if when() returns Setup, it then calls probe().

when()

virtual When Probe::when ( ) const

protectedvirtual

This function returns an enumeration indicating when probing should be performed for this probe. The default implementation in this base class returns Setup. A subclass needs to override this function only if it (may) require probing at a different time.

Reimplemented in DustAbsorptionPerCellProbe, LaunchedPacketsProbe, RadiationFieldProbe, SecondaryDustLuminosityProbe, SecondaryLineLuminosityProbe, SpatialGridWhenFormProbe, and SpecialtyWhenProbe.
