Attributes

TIME_TO_MOVE_S

set(position: 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:

position (BacklightPosition)
