Examples

Initialisation

  • Import ‘pytac’ and initialise the VMX ring mode:

    >>> import pytac.load_csv
    >>> lattice = pytac.load_csv.load('VMX')
    

The lattice object is used for interacting with elements of the accelerator.

Get the pv value from the quad elements

  • Get the Quad elements and print their readback values on the b1 field:

    >>> quads = lattice.get_elements('QUAD')
    >>> for quad in quads:
    >>>    print(quad.get_pv_value('b1', pytac.RB))
    71.3240509033
    129.351394653
    98.2537231445
    ...
    
  • Print the quad pv values on the b1 field using the lattice. This is more efficient since it uses only one request to the control system:

    >>> lattice.get_pv_values('QUAD', 'b1', pytac.RB)
    [71.32496643066406,
     129.35191345214844,
     98.25287628173828,
