class nicos.taco.io.AnalogOutput

Bases: TacoDevice, HasLimits, Moveable

Base class for TACO AnalogOutput devices.

This class can be used for concrete devices, or other more specific device classes can be derived from it.

Parameters

loopdelay (float)

Wait loop delay. Default value: 0.29999999999999999. Unit: s.

Parameters inherited from the base classes: abslimits, description, fixed, fmtstr, loglevel, lowlevel, maxage, pollinterval, tacodelay, tacodevice, tacotimeout, tacotries, target, unit, userlimits

Digital I/O

class nicos.taco.io.DigitalInput

Bases: TacoDevice, Readable

Base class for TACO DigitalInput devices. The values are plain integers.

This class can be used for concrete devices, or other more specific device classes can be derived from it.

Parameters inherited from the base classes: description, fmtstr, loglevel, lowlevel, maxage, pollinterval, tacodelay, tacodevice, tacotimeout, tacotries, unit

class nicos.taco.io.NamedDigitalInput

Bases: DigitalInput

Parameters

mapping (a dict of int keys and str values)

A dictionary mapping integer values to names. Default value: {}.

Parameters inherited from the base classes: description, fmtstr, loglevel, lowlevel, maxage, pollinterval, tacodelay, tacodevice, tacotimeout, tacotries, unit

class nicos.taco.io.PartialDigitalInput

Bases: NamedDigitalInput
