Method Detail

setCombinationRule

void setCombinationRule(ExcitationComponent.CombinationRule rule)

Sets the rule for combining excitations.

Parameters:

rule - rule for combining excitations

getCombinationRule

ExcitationComponent.CombinationRule getCombinationRule()

Return the combination rule for excitations.

Returns:

combination rule for excitations

setExcitation

void setExcitation(double e)

SetsJust reiterating the primary excitation for this component.

Parameters:

e - excitation value

getExcitation

double getExcitation()

Returns the primary excitation for this component.

Returns:

primary excitation value

addExcitationSource

void addExcitationSource(ExcitationComponent ex,
                         double gain)

Adds a new excitation source to this Excitable with a specified gain.

Parameters:

ex - excitatation source to be added

gain - gain for the source

setExcitationGain

boolean setExcitationGain(ExcitationComponent ex,
                          double gain)

Sets the gain for an excitation source in this component.

Parameters:

ex - excitatation source whose gain is to be modified

gain - new gain for the source

Returns:

false if the source is not present in this component.

getExcitationGain

double getExcitationGain(ExcitationComponent ex)

Gets the gain for an excitation source in this component.

Parameters:

ex - excitatation source whose gain is to be queried

Returns:

source gain value, or -1 if the source is not present in this component.

removeExcitationSource

boolean removeExcitationSource(ExcitationComponent ex)

Removes an excitation source from this Excitable. Returns false if the source was not present.

Parameters:

ex - excitatation source to be removed

true if the source was present and removed

getNetExcitation

double getNetExcitation()

Returns the net excitation for this Excitable. The net excitation is the combination of the primary excitation and the net excitations of all the excitation sources.

Returns:

net excitation for this Excitable
