LArPix Logger

class larpix.logger.Logger(enabled=False, *args, **kwargs)

Base class for larpix logger objects that explicity describes the necessary functions for a Logger implementation. Additional functions are not built into the larpix core.

WRITE = 0

Flag to indicate packets were sent to ASICs

READ = 1

Flag to indicate packets were received from ASICs

record(data, direction=0, *args, **kwargs)

Log specified data.

Parameters:

• data – list of data to be written to log. Valid data types are specified by logger implementation. Raises a ValueError if datatype is invalid.
• direction – Logger.WRITE if packets were sent to ASICs, Logger.READ if packets were received from ASICs. (default: Logger.WRITE)

is_enabled()

Check if logger is enabled, i.e. actively recording data. All data passed into record() between an enable() and disable() command should be reflected in the log.

enable()

Enable logger

disable()

Disable logger

Note

This flushes any data in the buffer before disabling

is_open()

Returns the value of the internal state “open/closed” (True if open).

Deprecated since version 2.4.0: open, close, and is_open are deprecated and will be removed in the next major release of larpix-control.

open(enable=True)

Change internal state to “open” (meaningless), and if enable, enable this logger (meaningful).

Parameters:enable – whether to enable this logger

Deprecated since version 2.4.0: open, close, and is_open are deprecated and will be removed in the next major release of larpix-control.

close()

Change internal state to “closed” (meaningless) and disable this logger (meaningful).

Deprecated since version 2.4.0: open, close, and is_open are deprecated and will be removed in the next major release of larpix-control.

flush()

Flushes any held data from memory to the destination
