A tool to manage instruments.
Classes
InstrumentManager
-
class src.core.inst_manager.InstrumentManager[source]
A class for managing instruments.
There are several purposes for this class. One is loading available
instruments and relaying them to other objects. Perhaps the most important
is ensuring that only one instance of each cryostat object exists at a
time, since major problems can occur if there are multiple instances.
Methods
-
constructController(instrument)[source]
Construct a controller for the specified instrument if possible.
| Parameters : | instrument : Instrument
The Instrument object for which to construct a controller.
|
|---|
| Returns : | Controller :
A Controller object for the specified instrument. If the
specified instrument already has a controller associated with it,
the existing controller will be returned.

| Parameters : | name : str

experiment : Experiment
The experiment which should own the instrument.
|
|---|
| Returns : | Instrument :
An instance of the desired instrument class. If the requested
instrument is a cryostat and the class has already been
instantiated, the returned value is the already-instantiated
cryostat. Otherwise, a newly created instrument is returned.

-
getAvailableInstrumentStrings()[source]
