[scilab-Users] XCos Event Handling

[Andreas Stewering-Bone]

Hello,

I have some questions about the Xcos or Scicos Event handling.


Normal blocks implement a

init
calc
end

Functions

I would like to implement fieldbus handling block

So it would be ideal to have a

init -> get configure information from every block
postinit-> prepare complex data structures (based on the configuration), malloc 
some memory
calc -> do IO
end -> release memory

functions.

There a many different flags for numerical events during calculation. Are there 
any plans or possibilities for adding new scicos flags during initialisation?


Another question:

If I have different XCos IO blocks which use the same infrastructur (like one 
block creating a tcp server port, sereral blocks which present data on this 
port). Is there a possibillity to share informations betwwen blocks during

configuration time (interface function)

or 

initialisation time (calculation function) without using global strucures

for example to get the amount of server blocks or data ports ?



Greatings
