class
py4syn.epics.ICountable.ICountable[source]¶ Python interface to be implemented in all devices in order to create default methods for Counting process
A countable is any device in which a counting process is feasible to be performed.
-
canMonitor()[source]¶ Abstract method to check if the device can or cannot be used as monitor.
Returns: - out : bool
-
canStopCount()[source]¶ Abstract method to check if the device can or cannot stop the count and return values.
Returns: - out : bool
-
getValue(**kwargs)[source]¶ Abstract method to get the current value of a countable device.
Parameters: - kwargs : value
Where needed informations can be passed, e.g. select which channel must be read.
Returns: - out : value
Returns the current value of the device. Type of the value depends on device settings.
-
isCounting()[source]¶ Abstract method to check if the device is counting or not.
Returns: - out : bool
-
setCountTime(t)[source]¶ Abstract method to set the count time of a countable target device.
Parameters: - t : value
The target count time to be set.
Returns: - out : None
