Encoded API

This feature is only possible since PyTango 7.1.4

class tango.EncodedAttribute(*args, **kwargs)

decode_gray16(da, extract_as=None)

Decode a 16 bits grayscale image (GRAY16) and returns a 16 bits gray scale image.

param da:

DeviceAttribute that contains the image

type da:

DeviceAttribute

param extract_as:

defaults to ExtractAs.Numpy

type extract_as:

ExtractAs

return:

the decoded data

In case String string is choosen as extract method, a tuple is returned:
width<int>, height<int>, buffer<str>

In case Numpy is choosen as extract method, a numpy.ndarray is returned with ndim=2, shape=(height, width) and dtype=numpy.uint16.

In case Tuple or List are choosen, a tuple<tuple<int>> or list<list<int>> is returned.

Warning

The PyTango calls that return a DeviceAttribute (like DeviceProxy.read_attribute() or DeviceProxy.command_inout()) automatically extract the contents by default. This method requires that the given DeviceAttribute is obtained from a call which DOESN’T extract the contents. Example:

dev = tango.DeviceProxy("a/b/c")
da = dev.read_attribute("my_attr", extract_as=tango.ExtractAs.Nothing)
enc = tango.EncodedAttribute()
data = enc.decode_gray16(da)

param da:

DeviceAttribute that contains the image

type da:

param extract_as:

defaults to ExtractAs.Numpy

type extract_as:

ExtractAs

return:

the decoded data

In case String string is choosen as extract method, a tuple is returned:
width<int>, height<int>, buffer<str>

In case Numpy is choosen as extract method, a numpy.ndarray is returned with ndim=2, shape=(height, width) and dtype=numpy.uint8.

In case Tuple or List are choosen, a tuple<tuple<int>> or list<list<int>> is returned.

Warning

da = dev.read_attribute("my_attr", extract_as=tango.ExtractAs.Nothing)
enc = tango.EncodedAttribute()
data = enc.decode_gray8(da)

defaults to ExtractAs.Numpy

type extract_as:

ExtractAs

return:

the decoded data

In case Numpy is choosen as extract method, a numpy.ndarray is returned with ndim=2, shape=(height, width) and dtype=numpy.uint32.

In case Tuple or List are choosen, a tuple<tuple<int>> or list<list<int>> is returned.
