Keyword arguments are passed through to the base class, Positioner

Parameters:
prefixstr

The record to use

read_attrssequence of attribute names

The signals to be read during data acquisition (i.e., in read() and describe() calls)

namestr, optional

The name of the device

parentinstance or None

The instance of the parent device, if applicable

settle_timefloat, optional

The amount of time to wait after moves to report status completion

timeoutfloat, optional

The default timeout to use for motion requests, in seconds.

__init__(prefix='', *, name, kind=None, read_attrs=None, configuration_attrs=None, parent=None, **kwargs)#
