## 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.

## Member Function Documentation

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

Returns
  Time (in ms) since the thread was started

  QThread::start(), run()

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

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

See also
  setInterval()

void QwtSamplingThread::run | ( |  | ) |

protected virtual

Loop collecting samples started from QThread::start()

See also
  stop()

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

protected pure virtual

Collect a sample

Parameters

  elapsed | Time since the thread was started in milliseconds

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

slot

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

Parameters

  interval | Interval

void QwtSamplingThread::stop | ( |  | ) |

slot

Terminate the collecting thread
