The following example demonstrates how a DGG2 timer is operated.
#!/usr/bin/python from PyTango import * import sys import time try : t1 = DeviceProxy( "hires/exp/t1") scalar=t1.read_attribute( "sampleTime") scalar.value = 3; t1.write_attribute( scalar) t1.command_inout( "Start") while( t1.command_inout( "Check")): print t1.command_inout( "Read") time.sleep(0.5) except : print "Failed with exception !" print sys.exc_info()[0]
