public class Multiplexor
extends Transformer

This actor selects from the channels on the input port, copying the input from one channel to the output, based on the most recently received value on the select input. If the selected channel has no token, then no output is produced. The select input is required to be an integer between 0 and n-1, where n is the width of the input port. If no token has been received on the select port, then null is sent to the output. The input port may receive Tokens of any type, but all channels must have the same type.

One token is consumed from each input channel that has a token. Compare this with the Select actor, which only consumes a token on the selected channel.

Field Detail

select

public TypedIOPort select

Input for the index of the port to select. The type is IntToken.

Constructor Detail

Multiplexor

public Multiplexor(CompositeEntity container,
                   java.lang.String name)
            throws IllegalActionException,
                   NameDuplicationException

Construct an actor in the specified container with the specified name.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this actor within the container.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.

NameDuplicationException - If the name coincides with an actor already in the container.

Method Detail

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException

Read a token from the select port and from each channel of the input port, and output a token on the selected channel. This method will throw a NoTokenException if any input channel does not have a token.

Specified by:

fire in interface Executable

Overrides:

fire in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If there is no director, or if the select input is out of range.

initialize

public void initialize()
                throws IllegalActionException

Initialize to the default, which is to use channel zero.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Initializable

Overrides:

initialize in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If a derived class throws it.

isStrict

public boolean isStrict()

Return false.

Specified by:

isStrict in interface Executable

Overrides:

isStrict in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Returns:

False.
