addToGroup(group)

Add this node to the passed group, recursive to children

Parameters:

group – variable denoting a node that has not been passed

callRecursive(func, nodeTypes=None, **kwargs)

  • func

  • nodeTypes – (Default value = None)

type

delListener(listener)

Remove a listener Variable or function

listener

property description

assigns and returns description attribute to class variable

Parameters:
  • incGroups – list of passed inclusion groups

  • excGroups – list of passed exclusion groups

find(*, recurse=True, typ=None, **kwargs)

Find all child nodes that are a base class of ‘typ’ and whose properties match all of the kwargs. For string properties, accepts regexes.

  • typ – (Default value = None)

  • **kwargs

genDisp(value, *, useDisp=None)
Parameters:

value

getDisp(read=True, index=-1)

  • read (bool) – (Default value = True)

  • index (int) – (Default value = -1)

getNodes(typ, excTyp=None, incGroups=None, excGroups=None)

Get a filtered ordered dictionary of nodes. pass a class type to receive a certain type of node class type may be a string when called over Pyro4 exc is a class type to exclude, incGroups is an optional group or list of groups that this node must be part of excGroups is an optional group or list of groups that this node must not be part of

Parameters:
  • typ

  • excTyp – (Default value = None)

  • incGroups – (Default value = None)

  • excGroups – (Default value = None)

Return type:

ordered dictionary of nodes

getVariableValue(read=True, index=-1)

Return the value after performing a read from hardware if applicable. Hardware read is blocking. An error will result in a logged exception. Listeners will be informed of the update.

Parameters:
  • read (bool) – (Default value = True)

  • index (int) – (Default value = -1)

Returns:

Hardware read is blocking. An error will result in a logged exception. Listeners will be informed of the update.

Return type:

type

getYaml(readFirst=False, modes=['RW', 'RO', 'WO'], incGroups=None, excGroups=['Hidden'], recurse=True)

Get current values as yaml data. modes is a list of variable modes to include. If readFirst=True a full read from hardware is performed.

property groups

assigns and returns groups attribute to class variable

property hidden

assigns and returns hidden attribute to class variable

inGroup(group)
Parameters:

group

isinstance(typ)
Parameters:

typ

makeRecursive(func, nodeTypes=None)
Parameters:
  • func

  • nodeTypes – (Default value = None)

property name

assigns and returns name attribute to class variable

node(name)
Parameters:

name

property nodeList

Get a recursive list of nodes.

nodeMatch(name)
Parameters:

name

Returns:

be a single value or a list accessor: value value[9] value[0:1] value[*] value[:] Variables will only match if their depth matches the passed lookup and wildcard: value[*] will match a variable named value[1] but not a variable named value[2][3] value[*][*] will match a variable named value[2][3]. The second return field will contain the array information if the base name matches an item in the non list array.

Return type:

type

property nodes

Get a ordered dictionary of all nodes.

parseDisp(sValue)
Parameters:

sValue

post(value, *, index=-1)

Set the value and write to hardware if applicable using a posted write. This method does not call through parent.writeBlocks(), but rather calls on self._block directly.

Parameters:
  • value

    • :

  • index (int) – (Default value = -1)

removeFromGroup(group)

Remove this node from the passed group, not recursive

Parameters:

group – variable denoting a node that is in the passed group

Return type:

if in group, remove from group

setDisp(sValue, write=True, index=-1)
Parameters:
  • sValue

  • write (bool) – (Default value = True)

  • index (int) – (Default value = -1)

valueDisp(index=-1)
Parameters:
  • read (bool) – (Default value = True)

  • index (int) – (Default value = -1)

property variableList

Get a recursive list of variables and commands.

  • excGroups – (Default value = None)

Returns:

Pass list of include and / or exclude groups

Return type:

type

write(*, verify=True, check=True)

Force a write of the variable.

    • :

  • write (bool) – (Default value = True)

  • index (int) – (Default value = -1)

  • verify (bool) – (Default value = True)

  • check (bool) – (Default value = True)

get(read=True, index=-1, check=True)[source]
Parameters:

  • index (int) – (Default value = -1)

  • check (bool) – (Default value = True)

property depBlocks

Return a list of Blocks that this LinkVariable depends on

Python LinkVariable Example

Below is an example of creating a LinkVariable which defines a unique getter and setter for a RemoteVariable.

import pyrogue

# Create a remote variable that needs to pass its parameters
my_remote_var = pyrogue.RemoteVariable(name='OT_LimitRaw', offset=0x4000, bitSize=12, bitOffset=4, hidden=True)

# Define linkedGet and linkedSet for specialized behavior
def getTemp(var,read):
   value = var.dependencies[0].get(read)
   return (float(value)*(503.975/4096.0)) - 273.15

def setTemp(var, value, write):
   ivalue = int((value + 273.15)*(4096/503.975))
   var.dependencies[0].set(ivalue,write)

# Create a Link Variable with linkedGet and linkedSet, and dependency variable list
my_linked_var = pyrogue.LinkVariable(name='OT_Limit', units='degC', linkedGet=getTemp, linkedSet=setTemp, dependencies=[my_remote_var])

Python LinkVariable Example

Below is an example of creating a LinkVariable which …

import pyrogue

# Create a subclass of a LinkVariable

C++ LinkVariable Example

Below is an example of creating a LinkVariable device in C++.

#include <rogue/interfaces/memory/Constants.h>
#include <boost/thread.hpp>

// Create a subclass of a LinkVariable
class MyLinkVariable : public rogue:: ... {
   public:

   protected:

};
