class
hyperion.controller.sk.sk_pol_ana.Skpolarimeter(settings)¶ This is the controller for the SK polarization. Based on their dll.
Parameters: settings (dict) – dictionary with the entry ‘dll_name’ : ‘SKPolarimeter’ (default value) -
finalize()¶ Closing communication with device
-
get_device_information()¶ Get SK polarization analyzer information. This function adds the obtained values to the properties of the class so they are accessible for all the functions
Returns: reading answer from the function Return type: int
-
get_number_polarizers()¶ Get the number of polarizers available in the system
-
get_wavelength()¶ Get current wavelength
Returns: wavelength in nm Return type: float
-
initialize(wavelength=630)¶ Initiate communication with the SK polarization analyzer
Parameters: wavelength (int) – the working wavelength in nm
-
start_measurement()¶ start measurement
-
stop_measurement()¶ start measurement
-
wait_to_measure()¶ This function is meant to be used to delay the first measurement so the device is ready and producing data. It is used as a decorator.
