A2PressureScalar: DevDouble
B1PressureScalar: DevDouble
B2PressureScalar: DevDouble
A1StateScalar: DevState
A2StateScalar: DevState

Commands:

Name Description
StateInput: DevVoid
Output: State
State Code
This command gets the device state (stored in its <i>device_state</i> data member) and returns it to the caller.
StatusInput: DevVoid
Output: ConstDevString
Status description
This command gets the device status (stored in its <i>device_status</i> data member) and returns it to the caller.
AddGaugeInput: DevVarStringArray
value[0] = `A1`, `A2`, `B1` or `B2`) value[1] = filter time value[2] = device name
Output: DevVoid
Add a gauge to the controller. It sends the gauge configuration to be done by the comntroller thread
ConfigureFilterTimeInput: DevVarStringArray
Output: DevVoid
Configure the filter time for the relevant gauge: - param[0] = Gauge name ('A1', 'A2', 'B1', or 'B2'). - param[1] = Filter type ('fast', 'medium' or 'slow').
ConfigureUnderrangeInput: DevBoolean
Output: DevVoid
Configure the underrange control: - "false": Control is OFF. - "true": Control is ON.
ConfigureUnitsInput: DevString
Output: DevVoid
Configure pressure value units ("mbar", "Torr", "Pa").
GetGaugePressureInput: DevString
The gauge index ('A1', 'A2', 'B1' or 'B2').
Output: DevDouble
The pressure value.
Returns the pressure read by the considered gauge.
GetGaugeStateInput: DevString
The gauge index ('A1', 'A2', 'B1' or 'B2').
Output: State
The state of the gauge.
Returns the state of the considered gauge.
GetGaugeStatusInput: DevString
Output: DevString
Returns a string describing the status of the considered gauge.
IsInitializedInput: DevString
Channel number: e.g. B2
Output: DevBoolean
return true if specified gauge is nitialized.
OffInput: DevString
Gauge name (A1, A2, B1, B2)
Output: DevVoid
Sets OFF the gauge gives as parameter.
OnInput: DevString
Gauge name (A1, A2, B1, B2)
Output: DevVoid
Set ON the gauge given as parameter.
SaveParametersInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid
Save the present parameters set. This command takes a few seconds to complete!
SetCodeModeInput: DevBoolean
Output: DevVoid
If argin is set to 'true' then to be operated the TPG300 waits for a code to be entered (hard coded to 1001). if argin is set to 'false' no code is required to operate the TPG300. The 'code_mode' is the 'remote' mode for the TACO DS. The 'no_code_mode' is the 'local' mode for the TACO DS.

Properties:

Name Description
SerialDevicenameDevString The device name of the serial device.
UnderrangeControlDevBoolean \'true\' if control is \'on\', \'false\' instead.
UnitsDevString The unit in which the pressure value is expressed.
LocalModeDevBoolean If set to \'true\' sets the TPG300 to local mode (code =\'1001\').
RelaysArray of DevString TPG relays configuration. For each relay, a string as s1,s2,s3,s4 define the specified relay configuration: - s1: Relay name (1,2,3,4,A or B) - s2: The lower limit pressure (e.g. 1.0E-6) - s3: The upper limit pressure (e.g. 6.0E-6) - s4: The switch assignment: - Relay 1->4 : gauge channel - Relay A and B : 5 -> 8
SleepTimeBetweenSendAndGetDevLong Time to wait after a send to read the answer in milliseconds.
SleepTimeBetweenSendAndGetDevLong Time to wait after a send to read the answer in milliseconds.
