Unexpected trigger mode behavior #87
Description
There is an odd behavior with the trigger modes in my setup after merging with micron's master. I just cannot get it to work. 'External exposure' sets the mode to external start and if I set it to 'software' it goes to external (either external exposure or plain external). So I did some tests and here is what I get:
import Pyro4
cam = Pyro4.Proxy('PYRO:AndorSDK3@10.6.19.31:8001')
cam.enable()
Out[4]: True
cam.disable() # I disable here but if I keep the camera enabled I get similar results
cam.get_setting('trigger_mode')
Out[6]: 4
cam.describe_setting('trigger_mode')
Out[7]:
{'cached': False,
'readonly': False,
'type': 'enum',
'values': [(0, 'Internal'),
(1, 'External Start'),
(2, 'External Exposure'),
(3, 'Software'),
(4, 'External')]}
cam.set_setting('trigger_mode', 3) # Let's set the trigger mode to software
cam.get_setting('trigger_mode')
Out[9]: 3
cam.get_setting('exposure_time')
Out[10]: 0.0098304
cam.describe_setting('exposure_time') # In software trigger mode we should be able to change the exposure time...
Out[11]:
{'cached': False,
'readonly': True,
'type': 'float',
'values': (0.0009984, 30.0)}
cam.set_setting('exposure_time', 0.2)
cam.get_setting('exposure_time') # But we cannot. It's really read-only
Out[13]: 0.0098304
cam.set_setting('trigger_mode', 2) # So now to external exposure
cam.describe_setting('exposure_time')
Out[15]:
{'cached': False,
'readonly': False,
'type': 'float',
'values': (9.6e-06, 30.0)}
cam.set_setting('exposure_time', 0.2) # I guess this is might be ok as we need to change exposure time to get the total readout time
cam.get_setting('exposure_time')
Out[17]: 0.19999679999999997
