Hi John,
The sending of data is done in a while loop in the main method of the SteamSensorClient :
// As long as the client has not been shutdown, continue
while(!client.isShutdown()) {
// Only process the Virtual Things if the client is connected
if(client.isConnected()) {
// Loop over all the Virtual Things and process them
for(VirtualThing thing : client.getThings().values()) {
try {
thing.processScanRequest();
} catch(Exception eProcessing) {
System.out.println("Error Processing Scan Request for [" + thing.getName() + "] : " + eProcessing.getMessage());
}
}
}
// Suspend processing at the scan rate interval
Thread.sleep(scanRate);
}
If you'd like to send data only once remove this code and replace it with this :
if(client.isConnected()) {
// Loop over all the Virtual Things and process them
for(VirtualThing thing : client.getThings().values()) {
try {
thing.processScanRequest();
} catch(Exception eProcessing) {
System.out.println("Error Processing Scan Request for [" + thing.getName() + "] : " + eProcessing.getMessage());
}
}
}
You could also have a remote method like Ciprian suggested with this
if(client.isConnected()) {
// Loop over all the Virtual Things and process them
for(VirtualThing thing : client.getThings().values()) {
try {
thing.processScanRequest();
} catch(Exception eProcessing) {
System.out.println("Error Processing Scan Request for [" + thing.getName() + "] : " + eProcessing.getMessage());
}
}
}
and call it only once in a ThingWorx Mashup or script.
I hope this helps,
Thank you,
Veronica
