Interface RemoteFitsParameter

All Superinterfaces:

Remote, RemoteParameter, RmiCaster

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractFitsParameter, AbstractFitsValue, Efficiency, FitsMoments, SignalToNoise

public interface RemoteFitsParameter
extends RemoteParameter

A fits file normally consits of huge quantities of numbers that best are dealt with in the master where they originate (normally the scientific camera). The parameters/values extracted out of an entire fits file might be much smaller than the actual fits file itself, thus if other VM need excess to these parameters, it will be via an RMI interface. If the listener registered is an update listener, it will get notified when new fits data has been evaluated.

Method Summary

Date	rmiDateObs() Returns the observation time, if specified in the fits header or the time of fits registering.
double	rmiExposureTime() Returns the exposure time in seconds or zero if undefined.
long	rmiRegistered() Returns the time-stamp when the fits was registered.
