The rh.DataConverter component is used to convert between BULKIO data types in REDHAWK. With proper configuration, the rh.DataConverter component can convert between any of the following data types; Char, Octet, Unsigned Short, Short, Float and Double. The rh.DataConverter component is also capable of converting real data into complex data, and similarly complex data to real data.
All REDHAWK core assets use the same branching and tagging policy. Upon release,
the master branch is rebased with the specific commit released, and that
commit is tagged with the asset version number. For example, the commit released
as version 1.0.0 is tagged with 1.0.0.
Development branches (i.e. develop or develop-X.X, where X.X is an asset
version number) contain the latest unreleased development code for the specified
version. If no version is specified (i.e. develop), the branch contains the
latest unreleased development code for the latest released version.
| Asset Version | Minimum REDHAWK Version Required |
|---|---|
| 5.x | 2.2 |
| 4.x | 2.0 |
| 3.x | 1.10 |
| 2.x | 1.8 |
This asset requires the rh.fftlib shared library. This shared library must be
installed in order to build and run this asset. To build from source, run the
build.sh script found at the top level directory. To install to $SDRROOT, run
build.sh install. Note: root privileges (sudo) may be required to install.
To use the rh.DataConverter connect an input port to the desired input data stream that matches the input data type. Connect the output to the output port of the desired output type. Only one inport port can be active at a time, but the data can be converted to multiple output types at the same time. If scaling is desired, fixed point output scaling can be enabled by the 'scaleOutput' boolean. For floating point scaling or normalization, use the 'floatingPointRange' and 'normalize_floating_point' properties. The rh.DataConverter can also do real to complex and complex to real transformations. The output type (real/complex/passthrough) is controlled with the 'outputType' property. If a transform is required, the properties controlling that transform are specified in the 'transformProperties' property.
