Methods Documentation

get_value_descr(index)

Get a description for a value.

Parameters:

index (int or None) – The index of the value; must be None for a scalar, and an int for an array.

Raises:

ValueError – If the field is indexed and the index is None or out of range. If the field is not indexed and the index is not None.

Set value from DDS data.

Do not set the timestamp field, and do not check that getattr(data, filter_field) == self.filter_value; both of these are done by the caller: FilteredTopicWrapper.__call__.
