libgs.hardware.RadioBase

class libgs.hardware.RadioBase

Base class for Radio object.

Any radio interface must derive from this class and implement the interface methods:

• get_spectrum()
• get_range_rate()
• set_range_rate()

Additionally you should set the name attribute to something descriptive.

Note

It is best to interface with Radio objects thwough the range_rate attribute (which internally calls the abovementioned getters/setters. The reason is that it will properly handle errors)

Note

Currently Radio objects are used to set/get the range_rate and get the spectral data only. The ProtocolBase class must directly work out its radio interface to perform its send_bytes and recv functions.

Methods

get_range_rate()	Return the currently set range_rate
get_spectrum([old])	Return the latest spectrum from the radio as well as an associated frequency vecgor
record_spectrum([dt, N, fdec, add_zeroes])	Record N spectra then return them.
set_range_rate(range_rate)	Set frequency adjustment for a specific range_rate

Attributes

err_range_rate_get	Exception during last attempt at getting range rate (None if no exception occurred)
err_range_rate_set	Exception during last attempt at setting range rate (None if no exception occurred)
name	Getting/setting the radio name.
range_rate	Property for getting/setting range_range using the get_range_rate()/set_range_rate() methods while also capturing any exception and storing it in err_range_rate.
