BinaryWriter

class picodaq.binwriter.BinaryWriter(dev: PicoDAQ, nscans: int, asources: Dict[int, Sampled], dsources: Dict[int, Sampled])

property productionfinished

Has the production finished?

This property reads as true once all the data for all channels have been sent to the device.

Critically, this does not guarantee that all data have been sent out from the device into the world. For that, check the flags() from the binary reader.

It is OK to call sendchunk(...) after productionfinished() becomes True.

sendchunk(pre: bool)

Send a single chunk of data to the device

Parameter

pre - True if prebuffering

Returns

True if more data remain to be sent

If pre is True, sending of the data is preceded by an “outdata” command and the returned checksum is checked. Use this before you start() the acquisition. Once the device is in binary mode, set pre to False to send the data without preceding material.
