All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. This project adheres to Semantic Versioning. This file follows the formats and conventions from keepachangelog.com

Unreleased

Added

  • Generic continuous scans - ascanct & co. (SEP6)
    • TriggerGate element and its controller to plug in hardware with the synchronization capabilities
    • Software synchronizer that emulate hardware TriggerGate elements
    • Possibility to execute multiple, synchronized by hardware or software, in time or position domain (also non equidistant) acquisitions with the Measurement Group
    • CTExpChannel can report acquired and indexed values in chunks in continuous acquisition
    • synchronizer parameter to the Measurement Group configuration
    • latency_time parameter to the experimental channel controllers
    • ApplyInterpolation environment variable, applicable to ascanct & co.
    • "How to write a counter/timer controller" documentation
    • "How to write a trigger/gate controller" documentation
  • 0DExpChannel may report acquired and indexed values in chunks in continuous acquisition (#469)
  • PseudoCounter may return calculated (from the buffered physical channels values) and indexed values in chunks in continuous acquisition (#469)
  • timescan macro to run equidistant time scans and TScan class to develop custom time scans (#104, #485)
  • New recorder for NXscan that does not use the nxs module (NAPI) but h5py instead (#460)
  • New spock syntax based on the square brackets to use repeat parameters without limitations (#405)
  • Possibility to specify the IORegister value attribute data type between int, float or bool even in the same controller (#459, #458)
  • Possibility to duplicate repeats of the repeat parameters in macroexecutor and sequencer (#426)
  • Tooltip with parameters description in the macro execution widgets: MacroExecutor and Sequencer (#302)
  • Generic main to the macrobutton widget that allows to execute "any" macro
  • Overview of Pool elements documentation.
  • API fo Pool elements documentation.
  • Flake8 check-on-push for CI (#451)
  • Continuous integration service for Windows platform - AppVeyor (#383, #497)

Changed

  • ascanct & co. macro parameters to more resemble parameters of step scans (SEP6)
  • trigger_type was renamed to synchronization in Measurement Group configuration and as the experimental channel controller parameter (SEP6)
  • make the new NXscanH5_FileRecorder the default one for .h5 files (#460)
  • A part of the 0D's core API was changed in order to be more consistent with the new concept of value buffer (#469):
    • BaseAccumulation.append_value -> BaseAccumulation.append
    • Value.get_value_buffer -> Value.get_accumulation_buffer
    • Value.append_value -> Value.append_buffer
    • PoolZeoDExpChannel.get_value_buffer -> PoolZeoDExpChannel.get_accumulation_buffer
    • PoolZeoDExpChannel.value_buffer -> PoolZeoDExpChannel.accumulation_buffer
  • nr_of_points attribute of aNscan class was renamed to nr_points (#469)
  • IORegister value attribute default data type from int to float and as a consequence its Tango attribute data type from DevLong to DevDouble and the write_ioreg and read_ioreg macro parameter and result type respectively (#459, #458)
  • Use of ordereddict module. Now it is used from the standard library (Python >= 2.7) instead of taurus.external. For Python 2.6 users this means a new dependency ordereddict from PyPI (#482)
  • Applied AutoPEP8 to whole project (#446)

Deprecated

  • LoadOne API had changed - repetitions was added as a mandatory argument and the old API is deprecated (SEP6)
  • OD's ValueBuffer Tango attribute is deprecated in favor of the AccumulationBuffer attribute (#469)

Removed

  • intermediate events being emitted by the CTExpChannel Value attribute while acquiring with the count updates - temporarily removed (SEP6)
  • units level from the Measurement Group configuration (#218)

Fixed

  • Spurious errors when hangling macros stop/abort e.g. dscan returning to initial position, restoring velocitues after continuous scan, etc. due to the lack of synchronization between stopping/aborting macro reserved objects and execution of on_stop/on_abort methods (#8, #503)
  • Hangs and segmentation faults during the MacroServer shutdown process (#273, #494, #505. #510)
  • macrobutton widget working with the string parameters containing white spaces (#423)
  • Restoring macros from the list of favorites in the macroexecutor (#441, #495)
  • Macro execution widgets connecting to the MacroServer in a Tango database different than the default one e.g. using --tango-host option
  • Logging of the macro result composed from more than one item in Spock (#366, #496)
  • MacroServer start and instance creation when using it as standalone server i.e. without any Pool (#493)
  • One of the custom recorder examples - DumbRecorder (#511)
