MBS API documentation

MBS plugin in DABC provides C++ based API to access MBS from user code. Two major classes are provided:

• mbs::MonitorHandle - access logging, statistic and command channels of remote MBS nodes
• mbs::ReadoutHandle - readout data from MBS servers and LMD files

Complete API available via mbs/api.hmbs/api.h"" include file.

Simple MBS readout

#include "mbs/api.h"
 
int main()
{
   mbs::ReadoutHandle ref = mbs::ReadoutHandle::Connect("mbs://r4-5/Stream");
   if (ref.null()) return 1;
 
   mbs::EventHeader* evnt = ref.NextEvent(1.);
 
   if (evnt) evnt->PrintHeader();
 
   ref.Disconnect();
   return 0;
}

Example of usage such interface can be found in mbsprint.cxx

Command sending to MBS

#include "mbs/api.h"
 
int main()
{
   mbs::MonitorHandle ref = mbs::MonitorHandle::Connect("r4-5");
   if (ref.null()) return 1;
 
   ref.MbsCmd("type event");
 
   ref.Disconnect();
   return 0;
}

Example of usage such interface can be found in mbscmd.cxx
