hvl_ccb.dev.highland_t560.device

Module for controlling device, including TRIG, CLOCK and GATE I/Os.

class T560(com, dev_config=None)

Bases: SingleCommDevice

activate_clock_output()

Outputs 10 MHz clock signal

property auto_install_mode: AutoInstallMode

Check the autoinstall settings of the T560. The autoinstall mode sets how changes to device settings are applied. See manual section 4.7.2 for more information about these modes.

property ch_a: _Channel

Channel A of T560

property ch_b: _Channel

Channel B of T560

property ch_c: _Channel

Channel C of T560

property ch_d: _Channel

Channel D of T560

static config_cls()

Return the default configdataclass class.

Returns:

a reference to the default configdataclass class

static default_com_cls()

Get the class for the default communication protocol used with this device.

Returns:

the type of the standard communication protocol for this device

disarm_trigger()

Disarm DDG by disabling all trigger sources.

fire_trigger()

Fire a software trigger.

property frequency: float

The frequency of the timing cycle in Hz.

property gate_mode: GateMode

Check the mode setting of the GATE I/O port.

property gate_polarity: Polarity

Check the polarity setting of the GATE I/O port.

load_device_configuration()

Load the settings saved in nonvolatile memory.

property period: float

The period of the timing cycle (time between triggers) in seconds.

save_device_configuration()

Save the current settings to nonvolatile memory.

property trigger_level

Get external trigger level.

property trigger_mode

Get device trigger source.

use_external_clock()

Finds and accepts an external clock signal to the CLOCK input

class T560Config

Bases: object

auto_install_mode = 1

clean_values()

Cleans and enforces configuration values. Does nothing by default, but may be overridden to add custom configuration value checks.

force_value(fieldname, value)

Forces a value to a dataclass field despite the class being frozen.

NOTE: you can define post_force_value method with same signature as this method to do extra processing after value has been forced on fieldname.

Parameters:

• fieldname – name of the field

• value – value to assign

is_configdataclass = True

classmethod keys() → Sequence[str]

Returns a list of all configdataclass fields key-names.

Returns:

a list of strings containing all keys.

classmethod optional_defaults() → dict[str, object]

Returns a list of all configdataclass fields, that have a default value assigned and may be optionally specified on instantiation.

Returns:

a list of strings containing all optional keys.

classmethod required_keys() → Sequence[str]

Returns a list of all configdataclass fields, that have no default value assigned and need to be specified on instantiation.

Returns:

a list of strings containing all required keys.
