__init__(configuration)	Initialize the Synthetic DAQ.
add_camera(microscope_name, camera)	Connect camera with daq: only in syntheticDAQ.
calculate_all_waveforms(microscope_name, ...)	Pre-calculates all waveforms necessary for the acquisition and organizes in a dictionary format.
enable_microscope(microscope_name)	Enables the microscope.
prepare_acquisition(channel_key)	Prepare the acquisition.

set_external_trigger([external_trigger])	Set the external trigger.
stop_acquisition()	Stop Acquisition.
update_analog_task(board_name)	Update the analog task.
wait_acquisition_done()	Wait for a short time to generate an image

Attributes

configuration	Configuration dictionary.
camera	Camera object.
wait_to_run_lock	Lock for waiting to run.
analog_outputs	Analog output tasks.
is_updating_analog_task	Flag for updating analog task.
trigger_mode	Trigger mode.

add_camera(microscope_name: str, camera: object) → None

Connect camera with daq: only in syntheticDAQ.

Parameters:

• microscope_name (str) – Name of microscope.

• camera (navigate.model.devices.camera.base.CameraBase) – Camera object.

calculate_all_waveforms(microscope_name, exposure_times, sweep_times)

Pre-calculates all waveforms necessary for the acquisition and organizes in a dictionary format.

Parameters:

• microscope_name (str) – Name of the active microscope

• exposure_times (dict) – Dictionary of exposure times for each selected channel

• sweep_times (dict) – Dictionary of sweep times for each selected channel

Returns:

self.waveform_dict – Dictionary of waveforms to pass to galvo and ETL, plus a camera waveform for display purposes.

Return type:

dict

enable_microscope(microscope_name: str) → None

Enables the microscope.

Parameters:

microscope_name (str) – Name of the active microscope

prepare_acquisition(channel_key: str) → None

Prepare the acquisition.

Parameters:

channel_key (str) – Channel key for current channel.

run_acquisition(wait_until_done=True) → None

Run DAQ Acquisition.

Run the tasks for triggering, analog and counter outputs. The master trigger initiates all other tasks via a shared trigger For this to work, all analog output and counter tasks have to be started so that they are waiting for the trigger signal.

Parameters:

wait_until_done (bool, optional) – Wait until acquisition is done, by default True.

set_external_trigger(external_trigger: Optional[str] = None) → None

Set the external trigger.

Parameters:

external_trigger (str, optional) – Name of external trigger.

stop_acquisition() → None

Stop Acquisition.

update_analog_task(board_name: str) → bool

Update the analog task.

Parameters:

board_name (str) – Name of board.

Returns:

True if task is updated, False otherwise.

Return type:

bool

wait_acquisition_done() → None

Wait for a short time to generate an image
