CScaler is an abstract base class for
objects that read out scaler hardware. Concrete classes have to be
made by deriving from this class.
virtual void initialize();
Called by the framework to initialize the scaler hardware prior to starting data taking.
virtual void clear();
Called by the framework to clear scaler hardware both prior to starting data taking and after reading a scaler event.
virtual void disable();
Called by the framework to disable the scaler hardware prior to terminating data taking.
virtual = 0 std::vector<uint32_t> read();
Called by the framework to read this module's scaler(s). The return value is a std::vector consisting of the data read from the hardware
virtual const bool isComposite();
Should return false if the scaler is not a container for other scalers (see e.g. CScalerBank(3sbsReadout)). Should return false if the scaler is a container and implements the interface defined by CScalerBank(3sbsReadout).
