verify_block(name: str, num: int | None)

Given a block name and number, return information about a block.

set_attribute(name: str, num: int | None, block: Device)

Set a block on the panda.

Need to be able to set device vectors on the panda as well, e.g. if num is not None, need to be able to make a new device vector and start populating it…

async connect(sim: bool = False, timeout: float = 10.0) → None

Initialises all blocks and connects them.

First, checks for pvi information. If it exists, make all blocks from this. Then, checks that all required blocks in the PandA have been made.

If there’s no pvi information, that’s because we’re in sim mode. In that case, makes all required blocks.

property name: str

Return the name of the Device

set_name(name: str)

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

Parameters:

name – New name to set
