XD01 Scripted Reader Example: CSV like file reader

Outline

This scripted reader reads a CSV like file with 4 columns (a,b,c,d). The content type check is performed by checking for a keyword.

Platforms

32/64bit

Requirements

None

Content of example record files

Output

Usage

To create a Scripted Reader, open the preferences and go to "impulse->Serializer-> Scripted Reader", open the configuration dialog and add a new Scripted Reader configuration.

A scripted reader calls a user script to perform the actual parsing and generation of the signals.

To enable the use of a scripted read for workspace resources, a user need to add a content type association and script code to verify the validity of the content.

Data input

The data to be parsed is quite similar to a numeric CSV file:

	#CANSPEED
	1565436982527 ;140 ;0 ;0.0 ;0.0
	1565436982578 ;51 ;0 ;0.0 ;0.0
	1565436982606 ;28 ;0 ;0.0 ;0.0
	1565436982618 ;12 ;0 ;0.0 ;0.0
	1565436982639 ;21 ;0 ;0.0 ;0.0
	1565436982658 ;19 ;0 ;0.0 ;0.0
	1565436982686 ;28 ;0 ;0.0 ;0.0
	1565436982766 ;80 ;170314 ;2128.925 ;112.04868421052633
	1565436982770 ;4 ;0 ;0.0 ;106.44625
	1565436982798 ;28 ;0 ;0.0 ;101.12393750000001

Content type check

To enable the reader for the use with resources, we need to add a content type association and script code to verify the validity of the content. The script just checks if the keyword 'CANSPEED' is available.

	var StringType = Java.type("java.lang.String");
	var s = new StringType(buffer);
	if (s.contains('CANSPEED'))
	    IRecordReader.APPLICABLE;

Reader Script

The script read the input line by line, splits the input lines and writes them in 4 signals.


// reader      : The reader object for synchronisation purpose (de.toem.impulse.serializer.base.IScriptedReader)
// generator   : Record generator (de.toem.impulse.samples.ISingleDomainRecordGenerator)
// inputStream : Input stream object (java.io.InputStream)
// progress    : Progress control (de.toem.pattern.threading.IProgress)
// console     : Console output (de.toem.impulse.scripting.IScriptConsole)


// Init the record
generator.initRecord("Example Record", TimeBase.ns);
var a = generator.addSignal(null, "a", "", ProcessType.Discrete, SignalType.Integer, SignalDescriptor.DEFAULT);
var b = generator.addSignal(null, "b", "", ProcessType.Discrete, SignalType.Integer, SignalDescriptor.DEFAULT);
var c = generator.addSignal(null, "c", "", ProcessType.Discrete, SignalType.Integer, SignalDescriptor.DEFAULT);
var d = generator.addSignal(null, "d", "", ProcessType.Discrete, SignalType.Integer, SignalDescriptor.DEFAULT);
var wa /*:IIntegerSamplesWriter:*/ = generator.getWriter(a);
var wb /*:IIntegerSamplesWriter:*/ = generator.getWriter(b);
var wc /*:IIntegerSamplesWriter:*/ = generator.getWriter(c);
var wd /*:IIntegerSamplesWriter:*/ = generator.getWriter(d);

var current = 0;
var started;
generator.open(current);
reader.changed(IRecordReader.CHANGED_RECORD);

try {
    var input /*:java.io.BufferedReader:*/ = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
    var line /*:java.lang.String:*/ = input.readLine(); // skip type header
    while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {
        var splitted = line.split(";");
        var parsed = TimeBase.ns.parseUnits(splitted[0] + "ms");
        if (started == null)
            started = parsed;
        current = parsed - started;
        console.println(current + " " + line + " " + line.length());

        // add samples
        reader.lock();
        wa.writeInt(current, false, splitted[1]);
        wb.writeInt(current, false, splitted[2]);
        wc.writeInt(current, false, splitted[3]);
        wd.writeInt(current, false, splitted[4]);
        reader.unlock(IRecordReader.CHANGED_SIGNALS);

    }
} catch (e) {
    console.println(e);
}
reader.lock();
generator.close(current + 1);
reader.unlock(IRecordReader.CHANGED_NONE);
