Subarray Device

SKASubarray.

A SubArray handling device. It allows the assigning/releasing of resources into/from Subarray, configuring capabilities, and exposes the related information like assigned resources, configured capabilities, etc.

class SKASubarray(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any)[source]

Implements the SKA SubArray device.

class InitCommand(device: tango.server.Device, logger: Logger | None = None, validator: ArgumentValidator | None = None)[source]

A class for the SKASubarray’s init_device() “command”.

do(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) → tuple[ResultCode, str][source]

Stateless hook for device initialisation.

Parameters:

args – positional arguments to the command. This command does not take any, so this should be empty.
kwargs – keyword arguments to the command. This command does not take any, so this should be empty.

Returns:

A tuple containing a return code and a string message indicating status. The message is for information purpose only.
