Probe
[Utilities, C++, Linux]

A tool to browse and probe remote Orca interfaces. More...

Provides

Operation
This utility connects to the registry and gets a list of components. The user can then select an component and get a list of its interfaces (if Home interface is available). Then choose an interface (if supported by Probe) and get a list of operations. Choose an operation to call, e.g. getData().

This utility loads plug-in libraries containing a probe per interface. Custom probes can be supplied with external factory libraries. The default library which comes with the Orca distribution supports the following interfaces:

Configuration
  • Probe.Config.Driver (string)
    • Type of display driver
    • Valid values: { 'term-iostream', 'gui-qt' }
    • Default: 'term-iostream'

  • Probe.Config.FactoryLibNames (string)
    • A space-separated list of libraries containing slave factories.
    • This list is ordered. Putting a custom library earlier in the list means that it will be used to instantiate interface probes before later factories.
    • Example: 'libMyProbeFactory.so libOrcaProbeFactory.so'. If MyProbeFactory implements the LaserScanner2d probe it will be used in place of the standard one.
    • Default: 'libOrcaProbeFactory.so'

An example configuration file is installed into [ORCA-INSTALL-DIR]/share/orca/cfg/ directory.

Basic display driver to terminal window.

Displays lists of options with available entries numbered. Here's an example of the Component menu. The platform agave has 6 components registered but only 3 could be reached (ice_pinged).
