public class VectorAssembler
extends Transformer

On each firing, read exactly one token from each channel of the input port and assemble the tokens into a DoubleMatrixToken with one column. The DoubleMatrixToken is sent to the output port. If there is no input token at any channel of the input port, then prefire() will return false. Note that the elements in the vector are not copied.

For sequential domains like SDF, the combination of a Commutator and domains.sdf.lib.DoubleToMatrix is equivalent to this actor. However, that combination will not work in CT, so we need this actor.

Field Detail

isColumn

public Parameter isColumn
True if the output vector is a column matrix. Otherwise, the output is a row matrix. The default value is true.

Constructor Detail

VectorAssembler

public VectorAssembler(CompositeEntity container,
                       java.lang.String name)
                throws NameDuplicationException,
                       IllegalActionException
Construct an actor with the given container and name.

Parameters:
container - The container.
name - The name of this actor.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If this actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.
NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.
Method Detail

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException
Read one token from each channel of the input port, assemble those tokens into a DoubleMatrixToken, and send the result to the output.

Specified by:
fire in interface Executable
Overrides:
fire in class AtomicActor
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If there is no director.

prefire

public boolean prefire()
                throws IllegalActionException
Return true if all channels of the input port have tokens, false if any channel does not have a token.

Specified by:
prefire in interface Executable
Overrides:
prefire in class AtomicActor
Returns:
True if all channels of the input port have tokens.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If the hasToken() call to the input port throws it.
