Interface DeviceClassEquationSupport

public interface DeviceClassEquationSupport

Adds support for device class equations. Creation of equation objects and checking if something is a device equation (has OR, AND, NOT, or parenthesis). Coding example:

     if (aDeviceModel instanceof DeviceClassEquationSupport) {
         DeviceClassEquation equation = ((DeviceClassEquationSupport) aDeviceModel).createEquation(equationString);
         ...
     } else {
         // no device equation support available.
     }
 

Since:

8.5

Method Summary
DeviceClassEquation	createEquation(java.lang.String equation)           Create a device equation from a string.
java.lang.Boolean	isEquation(java.lang.String equation)           Check if a given string is a device equation.
