children() → Iterator[Tuple[str, Device]]

async collect_asset_docs(index: int | None = None) → AsyncIterator[Tuple[Literal['stream_resource'], StreamResource] | Tuple[Literal['stream_datum'], StreamDatum]]

complete()

async connect(mock: bool = False, timeout: float = 10.0, force_reconnect: bool = False)

Connect self and all child Devices.

Contains a timeout that gets propagated to child.connect methods.

Parameters:

• mock – If True then use MockSignalBackend for all Signals

• timeout – Time to wait before failing with a TimeoutError.

async describe() → Dict[str, DataKey]

async describe_collect() → Dict[str, DataKey]

async describe_configuration() → Dict[str, DataKey]

async get_index() → int

kickoff()

property log

property name: str

Return the name of the Device

parent: 'Device' | None = None

The parent Device if it exists

prepare(value: TriggerInfo) → None

Arm detector.

Prepare the detector with trigger information. This is determined at and passed in from the plan level.

This currently only prepares detectors for flyscans and stepscans just use the trigger information determined in trigger.

To do: Unify prepare to be use for both fly and step scans.

Args:

value: TriggerInfo describing how to trigger the detector

async read() → Dict[str, Reading]

async read_configuration() → Dict[str, Reading]

set_name(name: str)

Set self.name=name and each self.child.name=name+"-child".

Parameters:

name – New name to set

stage() → None

trigger() → None

unstage() → None
