ophyd.device.BlueskyInterface.stage

BlueskyInterface.stage() → typing.List[object]

Stage the device for data collection.

This method is expected to put the device into a state where repeated calls to trigger() and read() will ‘do the right thing’.

Staging not idempotent and should raise RedundantStaging if staged twice without an intermediate unstage().

This method should be as fast as is feasible as it does not return a status object.

The return value of this is a list of all of the (sub) devices stage, including it’s self. This is used to ensure devices are not staged twice by the RunEngine.

This is an optional method, if the device does not need staging behavior it should not implement stage (or unstage).

Returns:

devices : list

list including self and all child devices staged
