class device.mockup.Discharge(duration, peak_power, t_rise=5, t_tail=3)

Bases: object

commentary()

Fancy messages that are triggered during the discharge. Returns None when no new message is availible

measure_power()

Fancy time evolution of “power output” during a discharge. Returns a tuple (time, power).

class device.mockup.MockupDevice(constants=None, **kwargs)

Bases: HardwareBase

A mockup class to demonstrate HardwareBase functionalities and the integration with DeviceClient.

HardwareBase features:

• Manual connect, disconnect or automatic via calling is_ready

• Manual command interrupt

• Automatic safety kill-switch called in the case of interrupt or error

• Thread-safety = only one command at a time (via @base_command, …)

  => this is required for calls made by DeviceClient

• Info, warning, error logging (to console and file)

DeviceClient features:

• Autoconnect and check connection via calls to is_ready

• Run user commands with parameters

• Run custom periodic commands in background

• Display info messages

• Display a graph

emit_mockfile(device_client)

initiate_discharge(device_client, duration)

Simulated: Discharge with a specified time duration. It just reads power output from device and emits some meassages (‘commands’).

is_some_switched_on()

raw_command(command)

Simulated: Send a command to the device.

read_power_output()

Simulated: Measure power output, returns tuple (time, power).

set_some_switch(enabled)

See: toggle_connection_stability()

toggle_connection_stability()

Simulated: Trigger someone-is-messing-with-the-cable problems.

update_frontend(device_client)

Update displayed power output data.
