pyrolab.drivers.motion.z8xx.Z812

class Z812

Bases: KDC101, HomingMixin

A Z812 and Z812B motorized linear actuator controlled by a KCube DC Servo motor.

This stage has a travel range of 12 mm, submicron resolution, and a maximum velocity of 2.3 mm/s.

Parameters:

serialnoint

The serial number of the device to connect to.

pollingint

The polling rate in milliseconds.

Notes

See the ThorLabs Z812 Product Page for more details.

Attributes:

backlash

Get the backlash distance setting (used to control hysteresis).

homed

Returns whether the motor is homed.

homing_velocity

Gets the homing velocity.

jog_acceleration

jog_mode

jog_step_size

jog_velocity

max_pos

min_pos

move_acceleration

move_velocity

soft_limits_mode

stop_mode

Methods

autoconnect()	Autoconnect to an instrument using internally stored parameters.
check_connection()	Checks connection of the device.
close()	Closes the motor if the object has been instantiated.
connect([serialno, polling, home])	Connect to the device.
detect_devices()	Detect all KCube DC Servo devices connected to the computer.
get_position()	Gets the current position of the stage in real units.
get_status_bits()	Returns the status bits of the motor.
go_home([block])	Takes the device home and sets self.homed to true
identify()	Sends a command to the device to make it identify iteself.
is_moving()	Returns whether the motor is moving (clockwise or counterclockwise).
jog(direction[, block])	Jogs the motor using either stepped or continuous, depending on what the jog mode is set to.
move_by(displacement[, block])	Move the motor by a relative amount.
move_continuous([direction])	Moves the motor at a constant velocity in the specified direction.
move_to(pos[, block])	Move the device to the specified position (index).
ping()	Returns a bool (True) to indicate that the Daemon is alive and can be communicated with.
pyrolab_version()	Return the version of PyroLab running the device.
set_behavior([instance_mode, instance_creator])	Sets the Pyro5 behavior for the class (modified in place).
stop([immediate])	Stops moving the motor either immediately or profiled.
wait_for_completion([id, MAX_WAIT_TIME])	A blocking function to ensure a task has been finished.
