Documentation: DTS.Common.Interface.Groups

1. Purpose

This module defines the core interfaces for the Groups subsystem within DTS, providing abstractions for group import workflows, database record structures, and channel/test object management. It serves as a contract layer between the group import UI views, view models, and the application core, enabling the parsing of .GRP files, validation of group configurations, and persistence of group and hardware records to the database. The module supports both legacy (pre-2.0) test object channels and ISO 13499-compliant metadata fields.

2. Public Interface

Interfaces

IGroupImportImportView

Marker interface for views responsible for presenting progress feedback during group creation and commit operations.

  • Inherits: IBaseView
  • Members: None (marker interface)

IGroupHardwareDbRecord

Interface describing a GroupHardware record in the database.

Property Type Attributes Description
Id int [Key], [Column("Id")] Primary key of the GroupHardware record

IGroupChannel

Interface representing a logical channel in a group, associated with physical hardware and/or sensors.

  • Inherits: IGroupTemplateChannel, IComparable<IGroupChannel>
  • Note: Marked as "FOR THE OLD (PRE 2.0) TESTOBJECT CHANNELS"
Property Type Description
Disabled bool Controls whether channel is used during data collection; disabled channels are excluded from run test
ChannelIdx int Channel index
SensorSerialNumber string Serial number of the associated sensor (if any)
HardwareId string Hardware channel identifier associated with this channel

ITestObject

Interface representing a test object with channel management and metadata.

Property Type Description
DisplaySerialNumber string Read-only display-formatted serial number
SerialNumberConverted string Converted serial number
SerialNumber string Serial number
SerialNumberOrOriginalSerialNumber string Read-only fallback to original serial number
TestObjectType string Type of test object
ParentObject string Parent object reference
SysBuilt bool System-built flag
TextL1 string Text line 1
HardwareIds string[] Array of hardware IDs
Template string Template name
LocalOnly bool Local-only flag
LastModifiedBy string User who last modified the object
LastModified DateTime Timestamp of last modification
Embedded bool Embedded flag
OriginalSerialNumber string Original serial number before conversion
OriginalTemplate string Original template (before embedding in test setup)
Method Signature Description
SortChannels void SortChannels() Sorts channels within the test object
SetTemplateOnly void SetTemplateOnly(string value) Sets template without triggering additional side effects

IGroupDbRecord

Interface describing a Group record in the database.

Property Type Attributes Description
Id int [Key], [Column("Id")] Primary key
SerialNumber string [Column("SerialNumber")] Serial number of the group
Picture string [Column("Picture")] Picture path/identifier
DisplayName string [Column("DisplayName")] Display name
Description string [Column("Description")] Description text
Embedded bool [Column("Embedded")] Whether the group is embedded
LastModified DateTime [Column("LastModified")] Last modification timestamp
LastModifiedBy string [Column("LastModifiedBy")] User who last modified
StaticGroupId int? [Column("StaticGroupId")] Optional static group ID
ExtraProperties string [Column("ExtraProperties")] Extra properties (serialized)

IGroupImportViewModel

Interface for the group import view model, coordinating views, application logic, and intermediate data.

  • Inherits: IBaseViewModel
Property Type Description
ImportOptionsView IGroupImportOptionsView View for file selection
ImportPreviewView IGroupImportPreviewView View for group selection and channel viewing
ImportView IGroupImportImportView View for commit progress display
Logger FileUtils.LogDelegate Logging facility
SwitchNavSteps SwitchNavStepsDelegate Callback to change navigation steps
CheckGroupExists CheckGroupExistsDelegate Callback to check if a group exists
CheckSensorExists CheckSensorExistsDelegate Callback to check if a sensor exists
CreateGroup CreateGroupDelegate Callback to create a group
AddChannel AddChannelToGroupDelegate Callback to add a channel to a group
CommitGroups CommitGroupsDelegate Callback to commit groups to database
DisableUI Disable_UIDelegate Callback to disable the UI
EnableUI Enable_UIDelegate Callback to enable the UI
BrowseOk bool Flag indicating browse operation status
Method Signature Description
SetStatus void SetStatus(string message, Color color) Sets status message with color
ParseSourceFiles void ParseSourceFiles(string userTags) Reads source files and parses channels/groups
Import void Import() Commits groups and channels to application
Reset void Reset() Resets view model to initial values

Delegates

Delegate Signature Description
SwitchNavStepsDelegate void (GroupImportEnums.Steps step) Switches navigation to specified step
CheckGroupExistsDelegate bool (string name) Checks if a group exists by serial number
CheckSensorExistsDelegate bool (string serialNumber) Checks if a sensor exists by serial number
CreateGroupDelegate void (string serialNumber, string tags) Creates a new group with tags
AddChannelToGroupDelegate void (string groupSerialNumber, string displayName, string sensorSerialNumber, double? capacity, bool? invert, string isoCode, IChannelSetting[] channelDefaults) Adds a channel to the end of a group's existing channels; capacity/invert use sensor defaults when null
CommitGroupsDelegate void (string[] serialNumbers) Commits specified groups to database
Disable_UIDelegate void () Disables the UI
Enable_UIDelegate void () Enables the UI

3. Invariants

  1. Database Column Mapping: All IGroupDbRecord and IGroupHardwareDbRecord properties are explicitly mapped to database columns via [Column] attributes; implementations must preserve these mappings.

  2. Primary Keys: Id properties on IGroupDbRecord and IGroupHardwareDbRecord are marked with [Key] attribute and must be unique.

  3. Validation Pattern: Both IGroupImportOptionsView.Validate and IGroupImportPreviewView.Validate follow the pattern of returning a boolean success indicator while populating out parameters for errors (fatal) and warnings (non-fatal).

  4. Channel Ordering: IGroupChannel implements IComparable<IGroupChannel>, implying a defined sort order for channels.

  5. Channel Append Semantics: Per AddChannelToGroupDelegate documentation, channels are appended to the end of a group's existing channels.

  6. Nullable Foreign Keys: StaticGroupId on IGroupDbRecord is nullable (int?), indicating optional relationships.

4. Dependencies

This module depends on:

  • DTS.Common.Base - IBaseView, IBaseViewModel base interfaces
  • DTS.Common.Enums.Groups - GroupImportEnums.Steps enumeration
  • DTS.Common.Interface.Channels - IChannelSetting interface
  • DTS.Common.Interface.GroupTemplate - IGroupTemplateChannel interface
  • DTS.Common.Utils - FileUtils.LogDelegate delegate type
  • System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations - [Key], [Column] attributes
  • System.Windows.Media - Color type for status display

What depends on this module:

  • Unclear from source alone - No downstream consumers are visible in these interface definitions. The delegate patterns (CreateGroupDelegate, CommitGroupsDelegate, etc.) indicate that an application layer provides implementations, but specific consumers cannot be determined from these files.

5. Gotchas

  1. Legacy Channel Interface: IGroupChannel is explicitly marked as "FOR THE OLD (PRE 2.0) TESTOBJECT CHANNELS" in the source comments. New implementations should investigate whether a newer channel interface exists.

  2. ViewModel Reuse Pattern: The Reset() method documentation states: "we are currently not creating a new viewmodel in the page, but re-using an existing one so everytime we re-visit the page we must re-initialize the vm". This singleton-like reuse pattern requires explicit cleanup via Reset() to avoid stale state.

  3. Mixed ISO 13499 Fields: ITestSetupGroupRecord.Position and TestObjectType comments note that groups can be composed of mixed position and test object fields, which may complicate validation or display logic.

  4. Template Mutation on Embedding: ITestObject.OriginalTemplate documentation indicates that the template changes when embedded in a test setup, suggesting template mutation side effects that may not be obvious.

  5. Null Parameter Semantics: In AddChannelToGroupDelegate, capacity and invert parameters use null to signal "use sensor defaults" rather than "no value" — implementations must explicitly handle this convention.
