ophyd.device.Component

class ophyd.device.Component(cls, suffix=None, *, lazy=False, trigger_value=None, add_prefix=None, doc=None, kind=<Kind.normal: 1>, **kwargs)

A descriptor representing a device component (or signal)

Unrecognized keyword arguments will be passed directly to the component class initializer.

Parameters:

cls : class

Class of signal to create. The required signature of cls.__init__ is (if suffix is given):

def __init__(self, pv_name, parent=None, **kwargs):

or (if suffix is None)

def __init__(self, parent=None, **kwargs):

The class may have a wait_for_connection() which is called during the component instance creation.

suffix : str, optional

The PV suffix, which gets appended onto parent.prefix to generate the final PV that the instance component will bind to. Also see add_prefix

lazy : bool, optional

Lazily instantiate the signal. If False, the signal will be instantiated upon component instantiation

trigger_value : any, optional

Mark as a signal to be set on trigger. The value is sent to the signal at trigger time.

add_prefix : sequence, optional

Keys in the kwargs to prefix with the Device PV prefix during creation of the component instance. Defaults to ('suffix', 'write_pv', )

doc : str, optional

string to attach to component DvcClass.component.__doc__

__init__(cls, suffix=None, *, lazy=False, trigger_value=None, add_prefix=None, doc=None, kind=<Kind.normal: 1>, **kwargs)
