mxcubecore.HardwareObjects.TangoShutter#

TangoShutter class - interface for shutter controlled by TANGO Implements _set_value, get_value methods

Tango states are: “UNKNOWN”, “OPEN”, “CLOSED”, “FAULT”, “MOVING”, “DISABLE”, “STANDBY”, “RUNNING”

Example xml file:

<object class = "TangoShutter">
  <username>Safety Shutter</username>
  <tangoname>ab/cd/ef</tangoname>
  <command type="tango" name="Open">Open</command>
  <command type="tango" name="Close">Close</command>
  <channel type="tango" name="State" polling="1000">State</channel>
  <values>{"OPEN": "MYOPEN", "NEWSTATE": ["MYSTATE", "BUSY"]}</values>
</object>

In the example the <values> property contains a dictionary that redefines or adds specific tango shutter states. When redefining a known state, only the VALUES Enum will be updated. When defining a new state (new key), the dictionary value should be a list. The new state is added to both the VALUES and the SPECIFIC_STATES enumeration.

Attention:

do not use tuples or the Python JSON parser will fail!
make sure only double quotes (") are used inside the values dictionary, no single quotes (') are allowed!
the second element of the list should be a standard HardwareObjectState name (UNKNOWN, WARNING, BUSY, READY, FAULT, or OFF; see in BaseHardwareObjects)!
