readUTF

public String readUTF()
               throws IOException
Description copied from interface: DataInput
Reads in a string that has been encoded using a modified UTF-8 format. The general contract of readUTF is that it reads a representation of a Unicode character string encoded in Java modified UTF-8 format; this string of characters is then returned as a String.

First, two bytes are read and used to construct an unsigned 16-bit integer in exactly the manner of the readUnsignedShort method . This integer value is called the UTF length and specifies the number of additional bytes to be read. These bytes are then converted to characters by considering them in groups. The length of each group is computed from the value of the first byte of the group. The byte following a group, if any, is the first byte of the next group.

If the first byte of a group matches the bit pattern 0xxxxxxx (where x means "may be 0 or 1"), then the group consists of just that byte. The byte is zero-extended to form a character.

If the first byte of a group matches the bit pattern 110xxxxx, then the group consists of that byte a and a second byte b. If there is no byte b (because byte a was the last of the bytes to be read), or if byte b does not match the bit pattern 10xxxxxx, then a UTFDataFormatException is thrown. Otherwise, the group is converted to the character:

(char)(((a& 0x1F) << 6) | (b & 0x3F))
 
If the first byte of a group matches the bit pattern 1110xxxx, then the group consists of that byte a and two more bytes b and c. If there is no byte c (because byte a was one of the last two of the bytes to be read), or either byte b or byte c does not match the bit pattern 10xxxxxx, then a UTFDataFormatException is thrown. Otherwise, the group is converted to the character:


 (char)(((a & 0x0F) << 12) | ((b & 0x3F) << 6) | (c & 0x3F))
 
If the first byte of a group matches the pattern 1111xxxx or the pattern 10xxxxxx, then a UTFDataFormatException is thrown.

If end of file is encountered at any time during this entire process, then an EOFException is thrown.

After every group has been converted to a character by this process, the characters are gathered, in the same order in which their corresponding groups were read from the input stream, to form a String, which is returned.

The writeUTF method of interface DataOutput may be used to write data that is suitable for reading by this method.

Specified by:
readUTF in interface DataInput
Returns:
a Unicode string.
Throws:
EOFException - if this stream reaches the end before reading all the bytes.
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
UTFDataFormatException - if the bytes do not represent a valid UTF-8 encoding of a string.

writeChars

public void writeChars(String s)
                throws IOException
Description copied from interface: DataOutput
Writes every character in the string s, to the output stream, in order, two bytes per character. If s is null, a NullPointerException is thrown. If s.length is zero, then no characters are written. Otherwise, the character s[0] is written first, then s[1], and so on; the last character written is s[s.length-1]. For each character, two bytes are actually written, high-order byte first, in exactly the manner of the writeChar method.

Specified by:
writeChars in interface DataOutput
Parameters:
s - the string value to be written.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

writeUTF

public void writeUTF(String str)
              throws IOException
Description copied from interface: DataOutput
Writes two bytes of length information to the output stream, followed by the Java modified UTF representation of every character in the string s. If s is null, a NullPointerException is thrown. Each character in the string s is converted to a group of one, two, or three bytes, depending on the value of the character.

If a character c is in the range \u0001 through \u007f, it is represented by one byte:

(byte)c 

If a character c is \u0000 or is in the range \u0080 through \u07ff, then it is represented by two bytes, to be written in the order shown:


 (byte)(0xc0 | (0x1f & (c >> 6)))
 (byte)(0x80 | (0x3f & c))
  

If a character c is in the range \u0800 through uffff, then it is represented by three bytes, to be written in the order shown:


 (byte)(0xe0 | (0x0f & (c >> 12)))
 (byte)(0x80 | (0x3f & (c >>  6)))
 (byte)(0x80 | (0x3f & c))
  

First, the total number of bytes needed to represent all the characters of s is calculated. If this number is larger than 65535, then a UTFDataFormatError is thrown. Otherwise, this length is written to the output stream in exactly the manner of the writeShort method; after this, the one-, two-, or three-byte representation of each character in the string s is written.

The bytes written by this method may be read by the readUTF method of interface DataInput, which will then return a String equal to s.

Specified by:
writeUTF in interface DataOutput
Parameters:
str - the string value to be written.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

public int getCorr()
CORR measures the average correlation value of the first 4 bytes of the packet header. A correlation value of ~110 indicates a maximum quality packet while a value of ~50 is typically the lowest quality packet detectable by the SPOT's receiver.

Returns:
- CORR value
See Also:
RadioPacket.getCorr()

getRssi

public int getRssi()
RSSI (received signal strength indicator) measures the strength (power) of the signal for the packet. It ranges from +60 (strong) to -60 (weak). To convert it to decibels relative to 1 mW (= 0 dBm) subtract 45 from it, e.g. for an RSSI of -20 the RF input power is approximately -65 dBm.

Returns:
- RSSI value
See Also:
RadioPacket.getRssi()

getHopCount

public int getHopCount()
Hop count is the number of times a packet will be retransmitted until it reaches the final destination. For AODV routed packets, the remaining hop count should be zero, since AODV routes use exact hop counts. Hop count may be non-zero for mesh forwarded broadcast packets

Returns:
- number of hops remaining in this Radiogram

isBroadcast

public boolean isBroadcast()

getTimestamp

public long getTimestamp()

readDouble

public double readDouble()
                  throws IOException
Description copied from interface: DataInput
Reads eight input bytes and returns a double value. It does this by first constructing a long value in exactly the manner of the readlong method, then converting this long value to a double in exactly the manner of the method Double.longBitsToDouble. This method is suitable for reading bytes written by the writeDouble method of interface DataOutput.

Specified by:
readDouble in interface DataInput
Returns:
the double value read.
Throws:
EOFException - if this stream reaches the end before reading all the bytes.
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

readFloat

public float readFloat()
                throws IOException
Description copied from interface: DataInput
Reads four input bytes and returns a float value. It does this by first constructing an int value in exactly the manner of the readInt method, then converting this int value to a float in exactly the manner of the method Float.intBitsToFloat. This method is suitable for reading bytes written by the writeFloat method of interface DataOutput.

Specified by:
readFloat in interface DataInput
Returns:
the float value read.
Throws:
EOFException - if this stream reaches the end before reading all the bytes.
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

writeDouble

public void writeDouble(double v)
                 throws IOException
Description copied from interface: DataOutput
Writes a double value, which is comprised of eight bytes, to the output stream. It does this as if it first converts this double value to a long in exactly the manner of the Double.doubleToLongBits method and then writes the long value in exactly the manner of the writeLong method. The bytes written by this method may be read by the readDouble method of interface DataInput, which will then return a double equal to v.

Specified by:
writeDouble in interface DataOutput
Parameters:
v - the double value to be written.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

writeFloat

public void writeFloat(float v)
                throws IOException
Description copied from interface: DataOutput
Writes a float value, which is comprised of four bytes, to the output stream. It does this as if it first converts this float value to an int in exactly the manner of the Float.floatToIntBits method and then writes the int value in exactly the manner of the writeInt method. The bytes written by this method may be read by the readFloat method of interface DataInput, which will then return a float equal to v.

Specified by:
writeFloat in interface DataOutput
Parameters:
v - the float value to be written.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
