ViewModel

Documentation Page: GroupChannelListViewModel

1. Purpose

The GroupChannelListViewModel class serves as the core view model for managing channel assignments within the GroupChannelList UI module. It orchestrates the display, editing, and synchronization of channel data—linking logical channel definitions (e.g., ISO/user codes, sensor assignments, hardware mappings) to physical test hardware and sensor metadata. It supports operations such as bulk import via text paste, drag-and-drop assignment of sensors and hardware channels, range synchronization across channels on the same DAS, and real-time filtering/sorting. It acts as the intermediary between the view (IGroupChannelListView, IGroupChannelSettingsListView) and domain models (IGroup, ITestSetup, ISensorData, IHardwareChannel), publishing events for UI updates and system-wide state changes.

2. Public Interface

Constructor

public GroupChannelListViewModel(
    IGroupChannelListView view,
    IGroupChannelSettingsListView settingsView,
    IRegionManager regionManager,
    IEventAggregator eventAggregator,
    IUnityContainer unityContainer)
  • Initializes the view model, wires up views, sets up interaction requests (NotificationRequest, ConfirmationRequest), and subscribes to events (RaiseNotification, BusyIndicatorChangeNotification, TextPastedEvent).
  • Initializes SelectedChannelItems as an ObservableCollection<IGroupChannel>.

Key Methods

Method Signature Description
UpdateRangeLowG public void UpdateRangeLowG(IGroupChannel channelChanged) Propagates RangeLowG to all other channels on the same DAS that have RangeModifiableSensorLowG = true.
UpdateRangeARS public void UpdateRangeARS(IGroupChannel channelChanged) Propagates Range to all other channels on the same DAS that have RangeModifiableSensorARS = true.
UpdateACCouplingEnabled public void UpdateACCouplingEnabled(IGroupChannel channelChanged) Propagates ACCouplingEnabled to other channels on the same DAS (casts to GroupChannel).
DoSensorAssignment public void DoSensorAssignment(IGroupChannel groupChannel, IDragAndDropItem[] sensors) Assigns sensors to consecutive channels starting at groupChannel. Skips assignment to TSR-AIR channels (except StreamOut/UART). Adds new channels if needed.
DoHardwareAssignment public void DoHardwareAssignment(IGroupChannel groupChannel, IHardwareChannel[] hardwareChannels) Assigns hardware channels to consecutive channels. Skips assignment to non-blank/non-StreamOut/UART channels if source is TSR-AIR.
OnTextPasted public void OnTextPasted(ITextPastedEventArgs args) Handles paste events (ID = GroupChannel.PASTE_ID). Parses tab/semicolon/comma-delimited text into channels, inserting/updating starting at the sender’s position.
ParseText private IEnumerable<IGroupChannel> ParseText(string text, object tag, out bool oneColumn) Parses raw text into IGroupChannel objects. Supports column mapping via tag (e.g., "GroupName", "ISOCode"). Handles sensor/hardware lookup via dictionaries.
GetSensorSerialNumber private string GetSensorSerialNumber(string channelSensor) Extracts serial number from sensor string (e.g., "strain gauge 1 (SG1)" → "SG1").
CreateGroupIfNeeded public IGroup CreateGroupIfNeeded(ITestSetup testSetup, string groupName)
private IGroup CreateGroupIfNeeded(string groupName)		 Creates a new group if none exists for groupName under TestSetup.
OnSetActive public void OnSetActive() Called when view becomes active. Updates channel group names, compares sensor parameters (CompareAndMarkChannelParameters), refreshes view settings/columns, and resets sort/filter state.
CompareAndMarkChannelParameters public bool CompareAndMarkChannelParameters(IGroupChannel ch) Compares channel parameters (e.g., Range, FilterClass, SquibFireMode) against sensor DB defaults. Marks channel as different if mismatched. Returns true if any change detected.
ResetSettingChannels private void ResetSettingChannels() Rebuilds SettingChannels from Channels, applying sort (via GroupChannelComparer), filtering blanks, and setting DigitalOutDurationMax for TOM hardware.
Unset public void Unset() Clears all internal state: AllChannels, Channels, sensor/hardware lookup dictionaries, filters.

PopulateChannels public IDictionary<IGroup, IGroupChannel[]> PopulateChannels(...) Core initialization method. Loads channels from Group or TestSetup, populates lookup dictionaries (_idToSensorDictionary, _displayToHardwareChannel), sets up channel metadata (e.g., RemoveSensorVisibility, DeleteShouldBeEnabled), and returns ChannelsForGroup mapping.
MarkModified public void MarkModified(IGroupChannel channel, bool bNotifyChanged = true) Handles adding a new blank channel after channel (if it’s the last non-blank), updates ordering, and ensures group assignment.
Remove public void Remove(IGroupChannel channel, bool notifyChanged = true) Removes channel, adds a new blank channel if needed, updates group/channel mappings, and triggers NotifyChannelsChanged.
NotifyChannelsChanged public void NotifyChannelsChanged() Publishes PageModifiedEvent and GroupUpdatedEvent, and updates ChannelCount/AssignedPhysicalChannelCount.
GroupNameChanged public void GroupNameChanged(IGroupChannel channel) Updates TestSetup.ChannelsForGroup when a channel’s group name changes (removes from old group, adds to new).
ReportErrors public void ReportErrors(string[] errors) Publishes PageErrorEvent with error messages.
Clear public void Clear(IGroupChannel channel) Calls channel.Clear() (resets channel fields to defaults).
OnBusyIndicatorNotification private void OnBusyIndicatorNotification(bool eventArg) Event handler for BusyIndicatorChangeNotification; sets IsBusy.

Event Handlers (Private)

  • OnTextPasted: Handles paste events.
  • OnBusyIndicatorNotification: Updates IsBusy.
  • OnRaiseNotification: Triggers NotificationRequest.

Event Properties (Public)

  • PropertyChanged: Standard property change notification.

3. Invariants

  • Channel Ordering:

    • AllChannels always ends with a blank GroupChannel (used for adding new channels).
    • Channels is a subset of AllChannels containing only non-blank channels.
    • Channel ordering is maintained via TestSetupOrder (if UseTestSetupOrder) or GroupChannelOrder.
    • DetermineButtonState() enforces CanMoveUp/CanMoveDown constraints (first channel cannot move up; last non-blank cannot move down).

  • Group/Hardware Consistency:

    • Channels are associated with a Group (from Group or TestSetup) and HardwareChannel.
    • GroupChannel.GroupName must match Group.DisplayName.
    • Hardware assignments to TSR-AIR channels are restricted (only to blank, StreamOut, or UART channels).

  • Sensor/Hardware Lookup:

    • _idToSensorDictionary, _serialNumberToSensorDictionary, and _displayToHardwareChannel must be populated before PopulateChannels completes.
    • Sensor serial numbers are extracted from strings (e.g., "name (SN)" → "SN") using GetSensorSerialNumber.

  • Filtering:

    • _dontFilterList preserves channels during filtering (e.g., after drag/drop or paste).
    • Filter() respects BridgeFilter, SearchTerm, and per-field filters (_filterByField).

  • Notification & Events:

    • OnPropertyChanged("ChannelCount") triggers GroupChannelsChangedEvent.
    • MarkModified, Remove, NotifyChannelsChanged publish PageModifiedEvent and GroupUpdatedEvent.

4. Dependencies

External Dependencies (Imports/Usings)

  • Prism Framework: IEventAggregator, IRegionManager, UnityContainer, InteractionRequest<T>, DelegateCommand.
  • DTS Common Libraries:
    • DTS.Common.Classes.Groups

  • Services: IEventAggregator, IUnityContainer, IRegionManager.
  • Data Sources: ITestSetup, IGroup, ISensorData, IDASHardware, IChannelSetting.
  • Events Published:
    • GroupChannelsChangedEvent
    • PageModifiedEvent

    • PageErrorEvent
    • ListViewStatusEvent
    • AppStatusEvent
    • RaiseNotification

Dependents

  • GroupChannelList view (binds to View, SettingsView).
  • Other modules via GroupChannelsChangedEvent, PageModifiedEvent, GroupUpdatedEvent.

5. Gotchas

  • TSR-AIR Channel Restrictions:

    • Sensor/hardware assignments are blocked for non-StreamOut/UART TSR-AIR channels (see DoSensorAssignment, DoHardwareAssignment).
    • Embedded sensors in TSR-AIR units are only added if the unit is not already in the group.

  • Blank Channel Handling:

    • AllChannels always ends with a blank channel; Channels excludes it.
    • MarkModified and Remove manage blank channel insertion/removal to maintain this invariant.

  • Paste Parsing Ambiguity:

    • ParseText splits on ,, \t, or ; (in order) if tokens < 2. Column mapping depends on tag (e.g., "GroupName").
    • oneColumn output indicates if only one column was present (used for single-field pastes).

  • Sensor Serial Number Parsing:

    • GetSensorSerialNumber assumes serial numbers are enclosed in parentheses (e.g., "name (SN)"). If no parentheses, the entire string is used.

  • Group Name Changes:

    • GroupNameChanged modifies TestSetup.ChannelsForGroup and may remove empty groups. Does not publish PageModifiedEvent (commented out).

  • Filtering Behavior:

    • _dontFilterList is cleared on user-initiated filter changes (initiatedByUser = true).
    • Per-field filters (_filterByField) are applied after BridgeFilter and SearchTerm.

  • Hardware Channel Lookup:

    • _displayToHardwareChannel uses channel.ToString(hardware) as the key (implementation-dependent string representation).

  • Sensor Constants:

    • CompareAndMarkChannelParameters skips comparison for test-specific sensors (e.g., TEST_SPECIFIC_ANALOG_SERIAL).

  • Settings View Loading:

    • SettingsViewLoaded controls whether SettingChannels triggers OnPropertyChanged.
    • SettingChannelsLoaded publishes AppStatusEvent (Busy → Available) during UI initialization.

  • No-Op Initialization Methods:

    • Initialize, InitializeAsync, Activated, Cleanup, CleanupAsync are stubbed (no implementation).

  • Range Propagation Scope:

    • UpdateRangeLowG/UpdateRangeARS only propagate within the same DASId.
    • UpdateACCouplingEnabled requires GroupChannel cast (runtime risk if non-GroupChannel instances exist).

  • Channel Ordering After Paste:

    • After paste, AllChannels[i].TestSetupOrder/GroupChannelOrder is reset to 1 + i for all non-blank channels.

  • Resource Strings:

    • Uses Resources.StringResources.TestChannelsGroupName for default group names in TestSetup mode.

  • Missing Validation:

    • ParseText does not validate sensor/hardware references beyond existence in dictionaries (e.g., invalid IDs are logged but do not halt processing).

Note: All behaviors are derived strictly from the provided source. No external documentation or runtime behavior was assumed.
