Python Tango server
===================
``libuca/tango`` is a Python-based Tango server.
Installation
------------
In order to install ``libuca/tango`` you need
- `PyTango`_ and
- `tifffile`_
.. _PyTango: http://www.esrf.eu/computing/cs/tango/tango_doc/kernel_doc/pytango/latest/index.html
.. _tifffile: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tifffile
Go to the ``libuca`` directory and install the server script with::
$ cd tango
$ sudo python setup.py install
and create a new TANGO server ``Uca/xyz`` with a class named ``Camera``.
Usage
-----
Before starting the server, you have to create a new device property ``camera``
which specifies which camera to use. If not set, the ``mock`` camera will be used
by default.
Start the device server with::
$ Uca device-property
You should be able to manipulate camera attributes like ``exposure_time`` and to store frames using a ``Start``, ``Store``, ``Stop`` cycle::
import PyTango
camera = PyTango.DeviceProxy("foo/Camera/mock")
camera.exposure_time = 0.1
camera.Start()
camera.Store('foo.tif')
camera.Stop()
