Examples

This will be a sequence of worked examples of how to write your own cb / queue factory.

Per-event

def per_event_plan_sequence_factory(
    sequence, independent_keys, dependent_keys, *, max_count=10, queue=None
):
    """
    Generate the callback and queue for a naive recommendation engine.

    This returns the same sequence of points no matter what the
    measurements are.

    For each Event that the callback sees it will place either a
    recommendation or `None` into the queue.  Recommendations will be
    of a dict mapping the independent_keys to the recommended values and
    should be interpreted by the plan as a request for more data.  A `None`
    placed in the queue should be interpreted by the plan as in instruction to
    terminate the run.


    Parameters
    ----------
    sequence : iterable of positions
        This should be an iterable of positions vectors that match the motors

    independent_keys : List[str]
        The names of the independent keys in the events

    dependent_keys : List[str]
        The names of the dependent keys in the events

    max_count : int, optional
        The maximum number of measurements to take before poisoning the queue.

    queue : Queue, optional
        The communication channel for the callback to feedback to the plan.
        If not given, a new queue will be created.

    Returns
    -------
    callback : Callable[str, dict]
        This function must be subscribed to RunEngine to receive the
        document stream.

    queue : Queue
        The communication channel between the callback and the plan.  This
        is always returned (even if the user passed it in).
