Methods Documentation

classmethod add_arguments(parser: ArgumentParser) → None¶

Add arguments to the parser created by make_from_cmd_line.

Parameters:

parserargparse.ArgumentParser: The argument parser.

Notes

If you override this method then you should almost certainly override add_kwargs_from_args as well.

classmethod add_kwargs_from_args(args: Namespace, kwargs: dict[str, Any]) → None¶

Add constructor keyword arguments based on parsed arguments.

Parameters:

argsargparse.Namespace: Parsed command.
kwargsdict: Keyword argument dict for the constructor. Update this based on args. The index argument will already be present if relevant.

Notes

If you override this method then you should almost certainly override add_arguments as well.

async classmethod amain(index: int | enum.IntEnum | bool | None, **kwargs: Any) → None¶

Make a CSC from command-line arguments and run it.

Parameters:

indexint, enum.IntEnum, True, or None

If the CSC is indexed, do one of the following:

Specify True to make index a required command-line argument that accepts any nonzero index.
Specify an enum.IntEnum class to make index a required command-line argument that only accepts the enum values.
Specify a non-zero integer to use that index. This is rare; if the CSC is indexed then the user should usually be allowed to specify the index.

If the CSC is not indexed, specify None or 0.

**kwargsdict, optional

Additional keyword arguments for your CSC’s constructor.

assert_commandable() → None¶: Assert that CSC is connected to the low-level controller and can command it.

assert_connected() → None¶

Assert that the CSC is connected to the low-level controller.

Raises:

lsst.ts.salobj.ExpectedError: If one or both streams is disconnected.

assert_enabled() → None¶

Assert that the CSC is enabled.

First check that CSC can command the low-level controller.

assert_enabled_substate(substate: IntEnum) → None¶

Assert that the CSC is enabled and that the low-level controller is in the specified enabled substate.

First check that CSC can command the low-level controller.

Parameters:

substateEnabledSubstate: Substate of low-level controller.

assert_summary_state(state: State, isbefore: bool | None = None) → None¶

Assert that the current summary state is as specified.

First check that CSC can command the low-level controller.

Used in do_xxx methods to check that a command is allowed.

Parameters:

statelsst.ts.salobj.State: Expected summary state.
isbeforebool, optional: Deprecated. The only allowed values are False (which raises a deprecation warning) and None.

async basic_run_command(command: Command) → None¶

Acquire the write_lock and run the command.

Parameters:

commandCommand: Command to run, as constructed by make_command.

async basic_telemetry_callback(client: CommandTelemetryClient) → None¶

Called when the TCP/IP controller outputs telemetry.

Call telemetry_callback, then check the following:

If the low-level controller is in fault state, transition the CSC to FAULT state.
IF the low-level controller is not in enabled state or if the CSC has lost the ability to command the low-level controller, move the CSC to DISABLED state.

Parameters:

clientCommandTelemetryClient: TCP/IP client.

async begin_disable(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

Begin do_disable; called before state changes.

Parameters:

dataDataType: Command data

async begin_enable(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

Begin do_enable; called before state changes.

Parameters:

dataDataType: Command data

async begin_exitControl(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

Begin do_exitControl; called before state changes.

Parameters:

dataDataType: Command data

async begin_standby(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

Begin do_standby; called before the state changes.

Parameters:

dataDataType: Command data

async begin_start(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

Begin do_start; configure the CSC before changing state.

Parameters:

datacmd_start.DataType: Command data

Notes

The override field must be one of:

The name of a config label or config file
The name and version of a config file, formatted as <file_name>:<version>, where the version is a git reference, such as a git tag or commit hash. This form does not support labels.

async check_for_duplicate_heartbeat(num_messages: int = 5) → int¶

Monitor heartbeat events and return True if any have a different private_origin.

Intended for use by check_if_duplicate.

The heartbeat loop should be running before this is called. This avoids the issue that if 2 CSCs are started at the same time then neither will see the other one’s heartbeat. This code also assumes that will be true; it will likely raise asyncio.TimeoutError if not.

Parameters:

num_messagesfloat: The number of heartbeat messages to read.

Returns:

originint: private_origin field of duplicate heartbeat, or 0 if none detected.

Raises:

asyncio.TimeoutError: If no heartbeat seen within the specified time.

async close(exception: Exception | None = None, cancel_start: bool = True) → None¶

Shut down, clean up resources and set done_task done.

May be called multiple times. The first call closes the Controller; subsequent calls wait until the Controller is closed.

Subclasses should override close_tasks instead of close, unless you have a good reason to do otherwise.

Parameters:

exceptionException, optional: The exception that caused stopping, if any, in which case the self.done_task exception is set to this value. Specify None for a normal exit, in which case the self.done_task result is set to None.
cancel_startbool, optional: Cancel the start task? Leave this true unless calling this from the start task.

Notes

Removes the SAL log handler, calls close_tasks to stop all background tasks, pauses briefly to allow final SAL messages to be sent, then closes the dds domain.

async close_tasks() → None¶: Shut down pending tasks. Called by close.

async compensation_loop() → None¶

Apply compensation at regular intervals.

The algorithm is to repeat the following sequence:

Wait until it is time to apply compensation (see compensation_wait for details).
Compute the compensation offset and apply it if large enough.

If a compensation update fails then compensation is disabled.

async compensation_wait() → None¶

Wait until it is time to apply the next compensation update.

Wait for motion to stop, then wait for self.compensation_interval seconds (a configuration parameter). Warn and repeat if the axes are moving again (very unlikely).

Raises:

asyncio.CancelledError: If the CSC is no longer enabled.
asyncio.TimeoutError: If waiting for motion to stop takes longer than self.max_move_duration.

compute_compensation(uncompensated_pos: Position) → CompensationInfo¶

Check uncompensated and, if relevant, compensated position and return compensation information.

Parameters:

uncompensated_posPosition: Target position (without compensation applied).

Returns:

compensation_infoCompensationInfo: Compensation information.

Raises:

salobj.ExpectedError: If uncompensated or compensated position is out of bounds.

Notes

Called when running the start command, just before changing summary state from State.STANDBY to State.DISABLED.

async connect() → None¶

Connect to the low-level controller.

After starting the mock controller, if using one.

async connect_callback(client: CommandTelemetryClient) → None¶

Called when the client socket connects or disconnects.

Parameters:

Parameters:

datacmd_exitControl.DataType: Command data

async do_move(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

Move to a specified position and orientation.

Check the target before and after compensation (if applied). Both the target and the compensated position (if compensating) should be in range, so we can turn off compensation at will. If compensation mode is off we do not test compensated position, as it allows running with invalid compensation coefficients or inputs.

async do_offset(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

Move by a specified offset in position and orientation.

See note for do_move regarding checking the target position.

async do_setCompensationMode(data: BaseMsgType) → None¶

async handle_summary_state() → None¶

Called when the summary state has changed.

Override to perform tasks such as starting and stopping telemetry (example).

Notes

The versions in BaseCsc and ConfigurableCsc do nothing, so if you subclass one of those you do not need to call await super().handle_summary_state().

Implement going into or out of simulation mode.

Deprecated. See simulation mode for details.

Parameters:

simulation_modeint: Requested simulation mode; 0 for normal operation.

classmethod make_from_cmd_line(index: int | enum.IntEnum | bool | None, check_if_duplicate: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) → BaseCsc¶

Construct a CSC from command line arguments.

Parameters:

indexint, enum.IntEnum, True, or None

If the CSC is indexed, do one of the following:

Specify True to make index a required command-line argument that accepts any nonzero index.
Specify an enum.IntEnum class to make index a required command-line argument that only accepts the enum values.
Specify a non-zero integer to use that index. This is rare; if the CSC is indexed then the user should usually be allowed to specify the index.

If the CSC is not indexed, specify None or 0.

check_if_duplicatebool, optional

Check for heartbeat events from the same SAL name and index at startup (before starting the heartbeat loop)? The default is False, to match the BaseCsc default. Note: handled by setting the attribute directly instead of as a constructor argument, because CSCs may not all support the constructor argument.
