TaurusAttribute

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

Import from taurus.core.taurusattribute as:

from taurus.core.taurusattribute import TaurusAttribute

DftTimeToLive = 10000

activatePolling(period, unsubscribe_evts=False, force=False)

activate polling for attribute.

Parameters:

period (int) – polling period (in miliseconds)

property alarms

areStrValuesEqual(v1, v2)

classmethod buildModelName(parent_model, relative_name)

build an ‘absolute’ model name from the parent model and the ‘relative’ name. - If parent_model is a TaurusDevice, the return is a composition of the database model name and its device name - If parent_model is a TaurusAttribute, the relative name is ignored and the parent name is returned

Note: This is a basic implementation. You may need to reimplement this

for a specific scheme if it supports “useParentModel”.

changePollingPeriod(period)

change polling period to period miliseconds

cleanUp()

The cleanUp. Default implementation does nothing Overwrite when necessary

deactivatePolling(maintain_enabled=False)

unregister attribute from polling

decode(attr_value)

defaultFragmentName = 'rvalue'
