Simple device to trigger the pneumatic in/out.

Parameters:
  • prefix (str)

  • name (str, default: '')

Methods

This setter will turn the backlight on when we move it in to the beam and off when we move it out.

Attributes

TIME_TO_MOVE_S

set(value: BacklightPosition)[source]#

This setter will turn the backlight on when we move it in to the beam and off when we move it out.

Moving the backlight in/out is a pneumatic axis and we have no readback on its position so it appears to us to instantly move. In fact it does take some time to move completely in/out so we sleep here to simulate this.

Parameters:

value (BacklightPosition)
