Methods Documentation

classmethod add_arguments(parser: ArgumentParser) None

Add arguments to the parser created by make_from_cmd_line.

Parameters:
parserargparse.ArgumentParser

The argument parser.

Notes

If you override this method then you should almost certainly override add_kwargs_from_args as well.

classmethod add_kwargs_from_args(args: Namespace, kwargs: dict[str, Any]) None

Add constructor keyword arguments based on parsed arguments.

Parameters:
argsargparse.Namespace

Parsed command.

kwargsdict

Keyword argument dict for the constructor. Update this based on args. The index argument will already be present if relevant.

Notes

If you override this method then you should almost certainly override add_arguments as well.

async classmethod amain(index: int | enum.IntEnum | bool | None, **kwargs: Any) None

Make a CSC from command-line arguments and run it.

Parameters:
indexint, enum.IntEnum, True, or None

If the CSC is indexed, do one of the following:

  • Specify True to make index a required command-line argument that accepts any nonzero index.

  • Specify an enum.IntEnum class to make index a required command-line argument that only accepts the enum values.

  • Specify a non-zero integer to use that index. This is rare; if the CSC is indexed then the user should usually be allowed to specify the index.

If the CSC is not indexed, specify None or 0.

**kwargsdict, optional

Additional keyword arguments for your CSC’s constructor.

assert_enabled(action: str = '') None

Assert that an action that requires ENABLED state can be run.

Parameters:
actionstr, optional

Action attempted. Not needed if this is called at the beginning of a do_... method, since the user will know what command was called.

assert_substate(substates, action)

Assert that the action is happening while in the PropagatingState.

Parameters:
substateslist

A list of allowed states

actionstr

The name of the command being sent.

Raises:
salobj.ExpectedError

Raised when an action is not allowed in a substate.

async begin_disable(data: BaseMsgType) None

Begin do_disable; called before state changes.

Parameters:
dataDataType

Command data

async begin_enable(data: BaseMsgType) None

Begin do_enable; called before state changes.

Parameters:
dataDataType

Command data

async begin_exitControl(data: BaseMsgType) None

Begin do_exitControl; called before state changes.

Parameters:
dataDataType

Command data

async begin_standby(data: BaseMsgType) None

Begin do_standby; called before the state changes.

Parameters:
dataDataType

Command data

async begin_start(data: BaseMsgType) None

Begin do_start; configure the CSC before changing state.

Parameters:
datacmd_start.DataType

Command data

Notes

The override field must be one of:

  • The name of a config label or config file

  • The name and version of a config file, formatted as <file_name>:<version>, where the version is a git reference, such as a git tag or commit hash. This form does not support labels.

async check_for_duplicate_heartbeat(num_messages: int = 5) int

Monitor heartbeat events and return True if any have a different private_origin.

Intended for use by check_if_duplicate.

The heartbeat loop should be running before this is called. This avoids the issue that if 2 CSCs are started at the same time then neither will see the other one’s heartbeat. This code also assumes that will be true; it will likely raise asyncio.TimeoutError if not.

Parameters:
num_messagesfloat

The number of heartbeat messages to read.

Returns:
originint

private_origin field of duplicate heartbeat, or 0 if none detected.

Raises:
asyncio.TimeoutError

If no heartbeat seen within the specified time.

async close(exception: Exception | None = None, cancel_start: bool = True) None

Shut down, clean up resources and set done_task done.

May be called multiple times. The first call closes the Controller; subsequent calls wait until the Controller is closed.

Subclasses should override close_tasks instead of close, unless you have a good reason to do otherwise.

Parameters:
exceptionException, optional

The exception that caused stopping, if any, in which case the self.done_task exception is set to this value. Specify None for a normal exit, in which case the self.done_task result is set to None.

cancel_startbool, optional

Cancel the start task? Leave this true unless calling this from the start task.

Notes

Removes the SAL log handler, calls close_tasks to stop all background tasks, pauses briefly to allow final SAL messages to be sent, then closes the dds domain.

async close_tasks()

Tasks to perform before closing the CSC.

  • Cancel telemetry

  • If laser is propagating, stop it.

  • Disconnect from the laser

  • If simulator is running, shut it off

async configure(config)

Configure the CSC.

async do_changeWavelength(data)

Remove items if the data string starts with “-”, ignoring missing items (items specified for removal that do not exist). Ignore whitespace after each comma and after the +/- prefix.

classmethod make_from_cmd_line(index: int | enum.IntEnum | bool | None, check_if_duplicate: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) BaseCsc

Construct a CSC from command line arguments.

Parameters:
indexint, enum.IntEnum, True, or None

If the CSC is indexed, do one of the following:

  • Specify True to make index a required command-line argument that accepts any nonzero index.

  • Specify an enum.IntEnum class to make index a required command-line argument that only accepts the enum values.

  • Specify a non-zero integer to use that index. This is rare; if the CSC is indexed then the user should usually be allowed to specify the index.

If the CSC is not indexed, specify None or 0.

check_if_duplicatebool, optional

Check for heartbeat events from the same SAL name and index at startup (before starting the heartbeat loop)? The default is False, to match the BaseCsc default. Note: handled by setting the attribute directly instead of as a constructor argument, because CSCs may not all support the constructor argument.

csccls

The CSC.
