## Detailed Description

A thread collecting samples at regular intervals.

Continuous signals are converted into a discrete signal by collecting samples at regular intervals. A discrete signal can be displayed by a QwtPlotSeriesItem on a QwtPlot widget.

QwtSamplingThread starts a thread calling periodically sample(), to collect and store ( or emit ) a single sample.

## QwtSamplingThread()

QwtSamplingThread::QwtSamplingThread | ( | QObject * | parent = NULL | ) |

explicitprotected

Constructor.

## Member Function Documentation

## elapsed()

double QwtSamplingThread::elapsed | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  Time (in ms) since the thread was started

See also
  QThread::start(), run()

Definition at line 62 of file qwt_sampling_thread.cpp.

## interval()

double QwtSamplingThread::interval | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  Interval (in ms), between 2 calls of sample()

See also
  setInterval()

Definition at line 53 of file qwt_sampling_thread.cpp.

## run()

void QwtSamplingThread::run | ( |  | ) |

overrideprotectedvirtual

Loop collecting samples started from QThread::start()

See also
  stop()

Definition at line 83 of file qwt_sampling_thread.cpp.

## sample()

virtual void QwtSamplingThread::sample | ( | double | elapsed | ) |

protectedpure virtual

Collect a sample

Parameters

  elapsed | Time since the thread was started in seconds

Note
  Due to a bug in previous version elapsed was passed as seconds instead of miliseconds. To avoid breaking existing code we stay with seconds for now.

## setInterval

void QwtSamplingThread::setInterval | ( | double | msecs | ) |

slot

Change the interval (in ms), when sample() is called. The default interval is 1000.0 ( = 1s )

Parameters

  msecs | Interval

  interval()

Definition at line 41 of file qwt_sampling_thread.cpp.

## stop

void QwtSamplingThread::stop | ( |  | ) |

slot

Terminate the collecting thread
