CommandTelemetryServer

class lsst.ts.hexrotcomm.CommandTelemetryServer(host, log, ConfigClass, TelemetryClass, connect_callback, config_callback, telemetry_callback, use_random_ports=False)

Bases: object

Serve command and telemetry ports for a low level controller to connect to.

Parameters:

host : str

IP address for this server.

log : logging.Logger

Logger.

ConfigClass : ctypes.Structure

Class for configuration.

TelemetryClass : ctypes.Structure

Class for telemetry

connect_callback : callable

Function to call when a connection is made or dropped. The function receives one argument: this server.

config_callback : callable

Function to call when configuration is read. The function receives one argument: this server.

telemetry_callback : callable

Function to call when telemetry is read. The function receives one argument: this server.

use_random_ports : bool (optional)

If True then use random free ports for command and telemetry, else use the standard ports. Use True for unit tests to allow running multiple tests in parallel.

Attributes Summary

command_connected	Return True if the command socket is connected.
command_port	Return the command port; may be 0 if not started.
connect_timeout	Time limit for Moog controller to connect to this server (sec).
connected	Return True if command and telemetry sockets are connected.
disconnect_timeout	Time limit to close the server and telemetry sockets (sec).
telemetry_connected	Return True if the telemetry socket is connected.
telemetry_port	Return the telemetry port; may be 0 if not started.

Methods Summary

async_call_connect_callback()
call_connect_callback()	Call the connect_callback if connection state has changed.
close()	Close everything.
command_connect_callback(command_server)	Called when the command server connection state changes.
monitor_command_reader()	Monitor the command reader; if it closes then close the writer.
next_telemetry([skip])	Wait for next telemetry.
put_command(command)	Write a command to the controller.
read_telemetry_and_config()	Read telemetry and configuration from the Moog controller.
start()	Start command and telemetry TCP/IP servers.
telemetry_connect_callback(telemetry_server)	Called when the telemetry server connection state changes.
wait_connected()	Wait for command and telemetry sockets to be connected.

Attributes Documentation

command_connected

Return True if the command socket is connected.

command_port

Return the command port; may be 0 if not started.

connect_timeout = 10

Time limit for Moog controller to connect to this server (sec).

connected

Return True if command and telemetry sockets are connected.

disconnect_timeout = 5

Time limit to close the server and telemetry sockets (sec).

telemetry_connected

Return True if the telemetry socket is connected.

telemetry_port

Return the telemetry port; may be 0 if not started.

Methods Documentation

async_call_connect_callback()

call_connect_callback()

Call the connect_callback if connection state has changed.

close()

Close everything.

command_connect_callback(command_server)

Called when the command server connection state changes.

monitor_command_reader()

Monitor the command reader; if it closes then close the writer.

next_telemetry(skip=2)

Wait for next telemetry.

Parameters:

skip : int (optional)

Number of telemetry items to skip. 1 is ideal to wait for the result of a command, because it avoids a race condition between sending the command and seeing the result.

put_command(command)

Write a command to the controller.

Parameters:

command : Command

Command to write. Its counter field will be set.

read_telemetry_and_config()

Read telemetry and configuration from the Moog controller.

start()

Start command and telemetry TCP/IP servers.

telemetry_connect_callback(telemetry_server)

Called when the telemetry server connection state changes.

wait_connected()

Wait for command and telemetry sockets to be connected.
