Detailed Description
Time stamp in milliseconds.
This class provides a timestamp in milliseconds. It is a Singleton class, that internally uses a mitkRealTimeClock() for time-acquisition.
First you have to call Start() in order to set the reference-time to the current time. If the user has not created and set his own "RealTimeClock", initialize() will be called and a default mitkRealTimeClock() is created. In addition the TimeStamp() saves a pointer to the device calling and the respective offset-time. The first device will have an offset of 0, the following's offset will be the time elapsed since the starting of the first device. This offset can be prompted by calling GetOffset();
You can always get the time elapsed since calling Start() with GetElapsed(). It returns the time spent in milliseconds as a double.
When the TimeStamp is no longer used, you can call Stop(). This erases the pointer to the device and the offset. When all devices have "stopped tracking" the reference-time and the current-time are reset to 0.

Member Function Documentation
◆ CreateInstance()
|
static |
creates a new instance of mitkTimeStamp
This method returns a pointer to the currently existing TimeStamp. If there is no exisiting instance, a new one is created and returned automatically
DECREPATED: Use GetInstance instead
◆ GetCurrentStamp()
|
protected |
◆ GetElapsed() [1/2]
| double mitk::IGTTimeStamp::GetElapsed | ( | ) |
returns the time elapsed since calling Start() for the first time in milliseconds
GetElapsed() returns the time elapsed since Start() has been called first, no matter which itk::Object did the call. This method-call can be used if you want to need to have several processes you want to monitor and need timestamps in the same space of time, e.g. when using two tracking-devices on the same experiment.
◆ GetElapsed() [2/2]
| double mitk::IGTTimeStamp::GetElapsed | ( | itk::Object::Pointer | device | ) |
returns the time elapsed since 'device' called Start() in milliseconds
GetElapsed(itk::Object device) returns the time elapsed since the given itk::Object called Start(). This overloaded method should be used when you only have one independent process to keep track of, e.g. when you want to measure how long it takes to execute a piece of code.
◆ GetInstance()
|
static |
returns a pointer to the current instance of mitkTimeStamp
This method returns a pointer to the currently existing TimeStamp. If there is no exisiting instance, a new one is created and returned automatically
◆ GetOffset()
| double mitk::IGTTimeStamp::GetOffset | ( | itk::Object::Pointer | Device | ) |
returns the offset of this device's starting-time to the reference-time in ms
Device 'A' is the first device to call Start(). Device 'B' calls Start() some time later. This time-difference is the offset, that each device has realtive to the device that started the time-acquisition. Each device's offset is stored in a map with a pointer to the device.
If this device has not been or is no longer saved in the map of devices, -1 will be returned.
only used internally
◆ Initialize()
| void mitk::IGTTimeStamp::Initialize | ( | ) |
creates a new RealTimeClock
Instanciates a new RealTimeClock, that will be specific for the Operating System. This will only be called internally when no other RealTimeClock has been set by the user.
◆ mitkClassMacroItkParent()
| mitk::IGTTimeStamp::mitkClassMacroItkParent | ( | IGTTimeStamp | , |
| itk::Object | |||
| ) |
◆ SetRealTimeClock()
| void mitk::IGTTimeStamp::SetRealTimeClock | ( | mitk::RealTimeClock::Pointer | Clock | ) |
setter for the internally used RealTimeClock()
If you want to use a "third-party" RealTimeClock, e.g PocoRealTimeClock, BoostRealTimeClock or ITKRealTimeClock, you can set it using this method: auto RealTimeClock = mitk::RealTimeClock::New(); mitk::TimeStamp::GetInstance()->SetRealTimeClock(RealTimeClock);
Right now, none of these RealTimeClocks have been implemented!!
Notice: The mitk-implementation of an os-dependant RealTimeClock is used by default.
◆ Start()
| void mitk::IGTTimeStamp::Start | ( | itk::Object::Pointer | device | ) |
starts the time-acquisition
Each device is to call this method when it starts tracking. The current time is saved as a reference-value (m_Time = 0). Internally the device (pointer) and its offset are saved in a map, so that no device can call this method twice. If the user has not set its own RealTimeClock, a default one is created dependant on the OS in use.
◆ Stop()
| void mitk::IGTTimeStamp::Stop | ( | itk::Object::Pointer | device | ) |
stops the time-acqusition
Each device has to call Stop() when it has finished and its pointer will be erased from the map. When the last device has "stopped" the reference-time and the current-time will be reset to 0.
