Method Detail

getComponents

public Type[] getComponents()

Returns an array containing the data elements.

getComponent

public Type getComponent(int number)
                  throws DataTypeException

Returns an individual data component.

Parameters:

number - The component number (0-indexed)

Throws:

DataTypeException - if the given element number is out of range.

getFirstDataCodeValue

public ST getFirstDataCodeValue()

Returns first data code value (component 1). This is a convenience method that saves you from casting and handling an exception.

getVr1_FirstDataCodeValue

public ST getVr1_FirstDataCodeValue()

Returns first data code value (component 1). This is a convenience method that saves you from casting and handling an exception.

getLastDataCodeCalue

public ST getLastDataCodeCalue()

Returns Last data code calue (component 2). This is a convenience method that saves you from casting and handling an exception.

getVr2_LastDataCodeCalue

public ST getVr2_LastDataCodeCalue()

Returns Last data code calue (component 2). This is a convenience method that saves you from casting and handling an exception.
