MDR69xB Channel¶

Class: herosdevices.hardware.thorlabs.mdt69xb.MDT69xBChannel

Driver Quality Index: beta

A single channel of a MDT69xB piezo driver.

This class provides an herosdevices.interfaces.atomiq.VoltageSource compatible interface to control a single channel of a MDT69xB piezo driver.

Note

This class does not directly connect to the hardware but to another object given by the host_device argument which can also be a HERO running on another machine. It can be used to provide a universal interface which does not require setting a channel for every operation.

Arguments

Bold arguments are mandatory. For more information on the listed arguments refer to the class documentation: herosdevices.hardware.thorlabs.mdt69xb.MDT69xBChannel If parameters appear in this list but not in the class definition, please recursively check the linked base classes for the definition of the parameter.

Argument	Type	Default Value	Description
host_device	herosdevices.hardware.thorlabs.mdt69xb.MDT693B \| herosdevices.hardware.thorlabs.mdt69xb.MDT694B		The host MDT69xB device (MDT693B or MDT694B).
channel	int \| str	x	The channel to control (can be int 0-2 or str ‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’, depending on host_device)

Example JSON for BOSS
