labscript.core.ClockLine

class ClockLine(name, pseudoclock, connection, ramping_allowed=True, **kwargs)[source]

__init__(name, pseudoclock, connection, ramping_allowed=True, **kwargs)[source]

Creates a Device.

Parameters:

name (str) – python variable name to assign this device to.
parent_device (Device) – Parent of this device.
connection (str) – Connection on this device that links to parent.
call_parents_add_device (bool, optional) – Flag to command device to call its parent device’s add_device when adding a device.
added_properties (dict, optional) –
gui –
worker –
start_order (int, optional) – Priority when starting, sorted with all devices.
stop_order (int, optional) – Priority when stopping, sorted with all devices.
**kwargs – Other options to pass to parent.

Methods

`__init__`(name, pseudoclock, connection[, ...])	Creates a Device.
`add_device`(device)	Adds a child device to this device.
`generate_code`(hdf5_file)	Generate hardware instructions for device and children, then save to h5 file.
`get_all_children`()	Get all children devices for this device.
`get_all_outputs`()	Get all children devices that are outputs.
`get_properties`([location])	Get all properties in location.
`get_property`(name[, location])	Method to get a property of this device already set using `Device.set_property()`.
`init_device_group`(hdf5_file)	Creates the device group in the shot file.
`quantise_to_pseudoclock`(times)	Quantises `times` to the resolution of the controlling pseudoclock.
`set_properties`(properties_dict, property_names)	Add one or a bunch of properties packed into properties_dict
`set_property`(name, value[, location, overwrite])	Method to set a property for this device.

Attributes

`allowed_children`	Defines types of devices that are allowed to be children of this device.
`clock_limit`	Clock limit for this line, typically set by speed of child Intermediate Devices.
`description`	Brief description of the device.
`minimum_clock_high_time`	The minimum time a clock tick must be in the logical high state
`parent_clock_line`	Stores the clocking clockline, which may be itself.
`pseudoclock_device`	Stores the clocking pseudoclock, which may be itself.
`t0`	The earliest time output can be commanded from this device at the start of the experiment.

add_device(device)[source]

Adds a child device to this device.

Parameters:: device (Device) – Device to add.
Raises:: LabscriptError – If device is not an allowed child of this device.
