navigate.model.devices.shutter.ni.NIShutter

class navigate.model.devices.shutter.ni.NIShutter(microscope_name: str, device_connection: Any, configuration: Dict[str, Any], *args: Optional[Any], **kwargs: Optional[Any])

Bases: ShutterBase

ShutterTTL Class

Triggering for shutters delivered from DAQ using digital outputs. Each output keeps their last digital state for as long the device is not powered down.

__init__(microscope_name: str, device_connection: Any, configuration: Dict[str, Any], *args: Optional[Any], **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → None

Initialize the ShutterTTL.

Parameters:
  • microscope_name (str) – Name of microscope in configuration

  • device_connection (Any) – Hardware device to connect to

  • configuration (Dict[str, Any]) – Global configuration of the microscope

Methods

__init__(microscope_name, device_connection, ...)

Initialize the ShutterTTL.
