4.1 Parameters API Introduction
Although the interaction using CLI & GUI differs, both approaches rely on the same mech-
anism handled by the “Generic Parameters Access (GPA)” core library.
In other words, most of the services running in the WRZ-OS can be configured & mon-
itorized through common operations using the attributes of parameters. The definition of
all attributes that a parameter must handle is given below:
OID : a unique identifier that should be used that refers to a specific parameter. This
OID is composed by three sub-indexes <M>.<D>.<P> corresponding to
<M>: ID of the module.
<D>: ID of the directory/path containing the parameter.
<P>: ID of the parameter inside a specific module directory.
Module : The name of the corresponding module.
Directory : The directory attached to the parameter.
Name : The name of the parameter (Names in the GUI and CLI can slightly differ but
their OID are always the same).
Type : The type of value stored by the parameters.
String: Datatype to represent text.
Enum/Bool: Fixed list of String-Integer associations.
Integer: Integer number with different binary representations (u8, i8, u16, i16,
u32, i32, u64, i64).
Decimal: Floating point number (f32 or f64).
Array: Vector of binary types handled like a separated string.
Unit : Corresponding unit of the parameter including scale (i.e., s, ms, us, ns, ps).
Description : Description of the parameter.
Access : How the user can interact with a parameter.
Read: can read the value.
Write: can directly apply (online) the value.
Load: can save the value (it will be applied at next restart).
Disabled: Currently disabled, writing will not apply anything and the value read
value might be invalid.
Visibility : Expert parameters are by default hidden unless toggling the expert
mode. Then, the disabled parameters are meaningless and thus temporary hidden to
improve legibility.
Status : Current status of a parameter.
