Field Detail

KEY_PARAMETER

public static final String KEY_PARAMETER

The key describing the name of the wrapped parameter.

Constant Field Values

value

private Value value

The Value we wrap.

Constructor Detail

ParameterSensor

public ParameterSensor(Map qualify)
                throws RemoteException

Constructs a fully-qualified parameter sensor. The parameter the sensor depends on must deliver Numbers, i.e. be a value.

Throws:

RemoteException

Method Detail

registerParameter

public void registerParameter(Parameter what)

Registers the required additional parameters for a solar height sensor. This is the sidereal time, the solar height, the Sun's position, i.e. ra dec and the latitude of the observatory.

Specified by:

registerParameter in interface ParameterDepending

readSensor

public double readSensor()

Reads the sensor. For the calculated sol z sensor this means the calculation of the solar position and the local sidereal time at the actual date. The calculation is done using the helper classes Sol, Sidereal and place which may be defined in the properties at construct.

Specified by:

readSensor in class TimerTaskSensor

Returns:

The cosine of the actual solar zenith distance.

See Also:

ConvertToPhysical

validReading

public boolean validReading()

The solar height sensor is always valid if the solar height is defined.

Specified by:

validReading in interface Telemetering
