ZMQAdapter class

hardware_control.base.ZMQAdapter module

class hardware_control.base.ZMQAdapter.ZMQAdapter(instrument, stopevent, context, publisher)

Bases: Thread

Wraps an instrument driver into a thread and establishes ZMQ connections to the main app.

ZMQAdapter takes an instrument driver argument, creates a thread, creates a ZMQ-publisher to publish any value changes, and listens to the ZMQ-app-publisher for requests.

The run function gets executed when calling .start() on the thread and therefore hosts the custom event loop.

get_address(ip_and_port: str) → str

Parses the ip address from the zmq connection string.

run()

Run custom event loop.

Listens for ZMQ requests from the main app and if the instrument is not online, tries to reconnect to it.
