Bases: LaserBase, SerialDevice

ASILaser - Class for controlling ASI Lasers

This class is used to control a laser connected to a ASI Device.

__init__(microscope_name, device_connection, configuration, device_id: int = 0)

Initialize the ASILaser class.

Parameters:

• microscope_name (str) – The microscope name.

• device_connection (TigerController) – The device connection object.

• configuration (dict) – The device configuration.

• device_id (int) – The laser id.

Methods

__init__(microscope_name, device_connection, ...)	Initialize the ASILaser class.
close()	Close the ASI Laser serial port.
connect(port[, baudrate, timeout])	Build ASILaser Serial Port connection
disconnect()	Disconnect from serial device.
initialize_laser()	Initialize lasers.
set_power(laser_intensity)	Sets the analog laser power.
turn_off()	Turns off the laser.
turn_on()	Turns on the laser.

Attributes

laser_min_do	The minimum digital modulation voltage.
laser_max_do	The maximum digital modulation voltage.
laser_min_ao	The minimum analog modulation voltage.
laser_max_ao	The maximum analog modulation voltage.
analog_axis	Output axis on Tiger Controller
digital_axis	Output axes on Tiger Controller
modulation_type	The modulation type of the laser - Analog, Digital, or Mixed.
laser	ASI Tiger Controller object.

close()

Close the ASI Laser serial port.

Turns the laser off and then closes the port.

classmethod connect(port, baudrate=115200, timeout=0.25)

Build ASILaser Serial Port connection

Parameters:

• port (str) – Port for communicating with the filter wheel, e.g., COM1.

• baudrate (int) – Baud rate for communicating with the filter wheel, default is 115200.

• timeout (float) – Timeout for communicating with the filter wheel, default is 0.25.

Returns:

tiger_controller – ASI Tiger Controller object.
