struct DDS_Duration_t | period |
Duration of the deadline period. |
<<cert>> Expresses the maximum duration (deadline) within which an instance is expected to be updated.
DDSDataReader expects a new sample updating the value of each instance at least once every period
. DDSDataWriter indicates that the application commits to write a new value (using the DDSDataWriter) for each instance managed by the DDSDataWriter at least once every period
.
This policy is useful for cases where a DDSTopic is expected to have each instance updated periodically. On the publishing side this setting establishes a contract that the application must meet. On the subscribing side the setting establishes a minimum requirement for the remote publishers that are expected to supply the data values.
When RTI Connext DDS Micro 'matches' a DDSDataWriter and a DDSDataReader it checks whether the settings are compatible (i.e., offered deadline <= requested deadline); if they are not, the two entities are informed (via the DDSListener mechanism) of the incompatibility of the QoS settings and communication will not occur.
Assuming that the reader and writer ends have compatible settings, the fulfilment of this contract is monitored by RTI Connext DDS Micro and the application is informed of any violations by means of the proper DDSListener.
The value offered is considered compatible with the value requested if and only if the inequality offered period <= requested period evaluates to 'TRUE'.
