pcdsdevices.signal.FakePytmcSignalRW

class pcdsdevices.signal.FakePytmcSignalRW(prefix, io=None, **kwargs)

Methods

describe()

Provide schema and meta-data for read()

This keys in the OrderedDict this method returns must match the keys in the OrderedDict return by read().

This provides schema related information, (ex shape, dtype), the source (ex PV name), and if available, units, limits, precision etc.

Returns:: data_keys (OrderedDict) – The keys must be strings and the values must be dict-like with the event_model.event_descriptor.data_key schema.

get(*, as_string=None, connection_timeout=1.0, **kwargs): Implement getting as enum strings

read()

Put the status of the signal into a simple dictionary format for data acquisition

read_configuration(): Dictionary mapping names to value dicts with keys: value, timestamp

set(value, *, timeout=None, settle_time=None, **kwargs)

Set the value of the Signal and return a Status object.

Returns:: st (Status) – This status object will be finished upon return in the case of basic soft Signals

sim_put(*args, **kwargs)

Update the read-only signal’s value.

Implement here instead of FakeEpicsSignalRO so you can call it with every fake signal.

sim_set_enum_strs(enums)

Set the enum_strs for a fake device

Parameters:: enums (list or tuple of str) – The enums will be accessed by array index, e.g. the first item in enums will be 0, the next will be 1, etc.

sim_set_func(func): Update the SynSignal function to set a new value on trigger.

sim_set_putter(putter)

Define arbirary behavior on signal put.

This can be used to emulate basic IOC behavior.

Attributes

connected: Is the signal connected to its associated hardware, and ready to use?

enum_strs

Simulated enum strings.

Use sim_set_enum_strs during setup to set the enum strs.

metadata_keys: Metadata keys that will be passed along on value subscriptions
