NAME

Lab::Bus - Bus base class

VERSION

version 3.900

SYNOPSIS

This is a base class for inheriting bus types.

DESCRIPTION

Lab::Bus is a base class for individual buses. It does not do anything on its own. For more detailed information on the use of bus objects, take a look on a child class, e.g. Lab::Bus::LinuxGPIB.

Lab::Bus::BusList contains a hash with references to all the active buses in your program. They are put there by the constructor of the individual bus Lab::Bus::new() and have two levels: Package name and a unique bus ID (GPIB board index offers itself for GPIB). This is to transparently (to the use interface) reuse bus objects, as there may only be one bus object for every (hardware) bus. weaken() is used on every reference stored in this hash, so it doesn't prevent object destruction when the last "real" reference is lost. Yes, this breaks object orientation a little, but it comes so handy!

  our %Lab::Bus::BusList = [
	$Package => {
		$UniqueID => $Object,
	}
	'Lab::Bus::GPIB' => {
		'0' => $Object,		"0" is the gpib board index
	}

Place your twin searching code in $self-_search_twin()>. Make sure it evaluates $self-IgnoreTwin()>. Look at Lab::Bus::LinuxGPIB.
