Class ParameterInstanceRef

java.lang.Object
org.yamcs.xtce.ParameterOrArgumentRef

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public class ParameterInstanceRef extends ParameterOrArgumentRef
A reference to an instance of a Parameter.

Used when the value of a parameter is required for a calculation or as an index value.

A positive value for instance is forward in time, a negative value for count is backward in time, a 0 value for count means use the current value of the parameter or the first value in a container.

If the parameter is an aggregate or an array, the reference can be made to a member of the aggregate/array or more generally to a path inside the aggregate (if a hierarchy of aggregates/arrays)

Thus the reference can be something like: g1/g2/a[1]/g4[a3]/p7
