labscript.core.IntermediateDevice

class IntermediateDevice(name, parent_device, **kwargs)[source]

Base class for all devices that are to be clocked by a pseudoclock.

__init__(name, parent_device, **kwargs)[source]

Provides some error checking to ensure parent_device is a ClockLine.

Calls Device.__init__().

Parameters:

Methods

`__init__`(name, parent_device, **kwargs)	Provides some error checking to ensure parent_device is a `ClockLine`.
`add_device`(device)	Adds a child device to this device.
`generate_code`(hdf5_file)	Generate hardware instructions for device and children, then save to h5 file.
`get_all_children`()	Get all children devices for this device.
`get_all_outputs`()	Get all children devices that are outputs.
`get_properties`([location])	Get all properties in location.
`get_property`(name[, location])	Method to get a property of this device already set using `Device.set_property()`.
`init_device_group`(hdf5_file)	Creates the device group in the shot file.
`quantise_to_pseudoclock`(times)	Quantises `times` to the resolution of the controlling pseudoclock.
`set_properties`(properties_dict, property_names)	Add one or a bunch of properties packed into properties_dict
`set_property`(name, value[, location, overwrite])	Method to set a property for this device.

Attributes

`allowed_children`	Defines types of devices that are allowed to be children of this device.
`description`	Brief description of the device.
`minimum_clock_high_time`
`parent_clock_line`	Stores the clocking clockline, which may be itself.
`pseudoclock_device`	Stores the clocking pseudoclock, which may be itself.
`t0`	The earliest time output can be commanded from this device at the start of the experiment.
