class TangoAttribute(name='', parent=None, **kwargs)

poll(single=True, value=None, time=None, error=None)

Notify listeners when the attribute has been polled

push_event(event)

Method invoked by the PyTango layer when an event occurs. It propagates the event to listeners and delegates other tasks to specific handlers for different event types.

property range

read(cache=True)

Returns the current value of the attribute.

If cache is False it will force a read from the device and return its value. If cache is True, it will return the cached value. If cache is a number, it will return the cached value if it’s newer than the specified number (in ms). Otherwise, it will act as if cache is False. If no cached value is available and cache is not False, it will wait until the polling or an event fill the cache to return its value. If polling is disabled and the attribute doesn’t send events, it will act as if cache is False.

If there is an application and it’s starting, the cache validations are skipped and returns de cached value or None if the cache is empty.

Parameters:

cache (bool or float) – use cache value or make readout, eventually pass a cache’s expiration period in milliseconds

Returns:

attribute value

Return type:

TangoAttributeValue

removeListener(listener)

Remove a TaurusListener from the listeners list. If polling enabled and it is the last element the stop the polling timer. If the listener is not registered nothing happens.
