Member Function Documentation

__init__ (   )

rcTrgGem constructor Reimplemented from TrgGem. Reimplemented in rcGEMDefaultTrigger, and TrgUsingTiles.

commit (  gem  = None  )

public commit function This function commits the configuration defined by this TrgGem object to the hardware. It does *all* the registers. This function should never be called by anyone other than Run Control.

disable (   )

Re-implementation of the disable() function to take advantage of threading Reimplemented from TrgGem.

enable (  mask  = None  )

Re-implementation of the enable() function to take advantage of threading Reimplemented from TrgGem.

getDisableTime (   )

Returns the VxWorks timestamp at the time the triggers are disabled Returns: Trigger disable time

getEnableTime (   )

Returns the VxWorks timestamp at the time the triggers are enabled Returns: Trigger enable time

getTimeStamp (   )

Returns the VxWorks timestamp for the last time a self-trigger was asserted. Returns: Trigger timestamp

shut (  sweepEvent  , progress  = None )

Re-implementation of the shut function to take advantage of the fact that in rcTrgGem, trigger engine 15 is reserved for the marker. Parameters: sweepEvent,:  A sweep Event() defined by runControl progress,:  An optional function that returns a non-zero value when when events are passing through the system. If omitted a fixed timeout is used. Reimplemented in rcGEMDefaultTrigger.

sweepOnShut (   )

Returns whether or not shut() does a sweep event. Default true. Returns: a boolean Reimplemented in rcGEMDefaultTrigger.

waitForMaskEnable (  tmo  = None  )

Waits until the enableMask() method is called. This is usually needed by non-self-triggering scripts where the _commandSynch thread needs to wait until RunControl actually enables the mask before continuing. Parameters: tmo  Optional parameter giving the wait timeout in seconds
