Accessing the :meth:`pause` and :meth:`~artiq.master.scheduler.Scheduler.check_pause` methods is done through a virtual device called ``scheduler`` that is accessible to all experiments. The scheduler virtual device is requested like regular devices using :meth:`~artiq.language.environment.HasEnvironment.get_device` (``self.get_device()``) or :meth:`~artiq.language.environment.HasEnvironment.setattr_device` (``self.setattr_device()``).
|
||||
|
||||
:meth:`~artiq.master.scheduler.Scheduler.check_pause` can be called (via RPC) from a kernel, but :meth:`pause` must not be.

Scheduler API reference
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The scheduler is exposed to the experiments via a virtual device called ``scheduler``. It can be requested like any regular device, and the methods below, as well as :meth:`pause`, can be called on the returned object.
|
||||
|
||||
The scheduler virtual device also contains the attributes ``rid``, ``pipeline_name``, ``priority`` and ``expid``, which contain the corresponding information about the current run.

Client control broadcasts (CCBs)
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Client control broadcasts are requests made by experiments for clients to perform some action. Experiments do so by requesting the ``ccb`` virtual device and calling its ``issue`` method. The first argument of the issue method is the name of the broadcast, and any further positional and keyword arguments are passed to the broadcast.
|
||||
|
||||
CCBs are used by experiments to configure applets in the dashboard, for example for plotting purposes.

Applet request interfaces
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Applet request interfaces allow applets to perform actions on the master database and set arguments in the dashboard. Applets may inherit from ``artiq.applets.simple.SimpleApplet`` and call the methods defined below through the ``req`` attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
Embedded applets should use ``AppletRequestIPC`` while standalone applets use ``AppletRequestRPC``. ``SimpleApplet`` automatically chooses the correct interface on initialization.

Applet entry area
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Argument widgets can be used in applets through the :class:`~artiq.gui.applets.EntryArea` class. Below is a simple example code snippet: ::
|
||||
|
||||
entry_area = EntryArea()
|
||||
|
||||
# Create a new widget
|
||||
entry_area.setattr_argument("bl", BooleanValue(True))
|
||||
|
||||
# Get the value of the widget (output: True)
|
||||
print(entry_area.bl)
|
||||
|
||||
# Set the value
|
||||
entry_area.set_value("bl", False)
|
||||
|
||||
# False
|
||||
print(entry_area.bl)
|
||||
|
||||
The :class:`~artiq.gui.applets.EntryArea` object can then be added to a layout and integrated with the applet GUI. Multiple :class:`~artiq.gui.applets.EntryArea` objects can be used in a single applet.
|
||||
|
||||
.. class:: artiq.gui.applets.EntryArea
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: setattr_argument(name, proc, group=None, tooltip=None)
|
||||
|
||||
Sets an argument as attribute. The names of the argument and of the
|
||||
attribute are the same.
|
||||
|
||||
:param name: Argument name
|
||||
:param proc: Argument processor, for example :class:`~artiq.language.environment.NumberValue`
|
||||
:param group: Used to group together arguments in the GUI under a common category
|
||||
:param tooltip: Tooltip displayed when hovering over the entry widget
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: get_value(name)
|
||||
|
||||
Get the value of an entry widget.
|
||||
|
||||
:param name: Argument name
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: get_values()
|
||||
|
||||
Get all values in the :class:`~artiq.gui.applets.EntryArea` as a dictionary. Names are stored as keys, and argument values as values.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: set_value(name, value)
|
||||
|
||||
Set the value of an entry widget. The change is temporary and will reset to default when the reset button is clicked.
|
||||
|
||||
:param name: Argument name
|
||||
:param value: Object representing the new value of the argument. For :class:`~artiq.language.scan.Scannable` arguments, this parameter
|
||||
should be a :class:`~artiq.language.scan.ScanObject`. The type of the :class:`~artiq.language.scan.ScanObject` will be set as the selected type when this function is called.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: set_values(values)
|
||||
|
||||
Set multiple values from a dictionary input. Calls :meth:`set_value` for each key-value pair.
|
||||
|
||||
:param values: Dictionary with names as keys and new argument values as values.
|
||||
:meth:`~artiq.master.scheduler.Scheduler.check_pause` can be called (via RPC) from a kernel, but :meth:`pause` must not be.

Management system interface
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
ARTIQ makes certain provisions to allow interactions between different components when using the :doc:`management system <management_system>`. An experiment may make requests of the master or clients using virtual devices to represent the necessary line of communication; applets may interact with databases, the dashboard, and directly with the user (through argument widgets). This page collects the references for these features.
