import_device

path: str

source: ScriptRepositorySource

converter_factory_guid: Guid

save_device_cache: bool = True

Import a device description file into a repository.

 WARNING

The original C# function that is called with this method contains 3 overloads. It is strongly advised to pass all arguments with their respective keywords. stream, path, and source_path are not actually optional, they just aren’t required in every overload. Pass them if your overload needs them!

Convert a foreign device description file and import the result into a repository.

List of known converter factories:

{C633F245-876F-45E8-AAB4-3FBD994C08B8}

Use as default because all available converters are tried

XML files of Sercos3

{1ce4a9c1-37d3-496c-9e80-cd99ad3807ee}

EDS files of CANbus

Parameters
  • path (str) – The file that contains the device description. This must be a valid device description file. Other types of device descriptions must be imported by special plug-ins.

  • source (ScriptRepositorySource) – The repository source where the device should be stored. This parameter may be None, in which case the default repository source is used. The repository source must be one of the sources defined in sources.

  • converter_factory_guid (str) – The guid of the converter to import a foreign device description. For example CANopen EDS files.

  • save_device_cache (bool) – If True, after removing the device the device cache is also written. If False, the device cache is not written. If many devices are removed, this is much faster.

Return type

DeviceId

Returns

The ID of the imported device description.

import_vendor_description

path: str

source: ScriptRepositorySource

Import a device description file into a repository.

 WARNING

The original C# function that is called with this method contains 2 overloads. It is strongly advised to pass all arguments with their respective keywords. stream, path, and source_path are not actually optional, they just aren’t required in every overload. Pass them if your overload needs them!

import_vendor_description(path, source) (2/2)

Parameters
  • path (str) – The file that contains the vendor description. This must be a valid vendor description file.

  • source (ScriptRepositorySource) – The repository source where the device should be stored. This parameter may be None, in which case the default repository source is used. The repository source must be one of the sources defined in sources.

Return type

ScriptVendorDescription

Returns

The imported vendor description.

remove_device

device_id

source

save_device_cache=True

Remove a device from the specified repository source.

Parameters
  • device_id (DeviceId) – Defines the device to remove.

  • source (ScriptRepositorySource) – Remove the device from this repository source. If None the device is removed from the default repository source.

  • save_device_cache (bool) – If True, after removing the device the device cache is also written. If False, the device cache is not written. If many devices are removed, this is much faster.

remove_vendor_description

vendor_id

source

Remove a vendor description from the specified repository source.

Parameters
  • vendor_id (int) – The vendor id.

  • source (ScriptRepositorySource) – Remove the device from this repository source. If None the device is removed from the default repository source.

save_device_cache

Saves the current devices in the device cache. Could be used to force it after adding or removing many devices.

rebuild_device_cache

Rebuild the device cache.

The device cache is deleted, initialized and saved.

get_device_category

category: Guid

This overload is called when category_id is of type int.

Get the device category with the specified type GUID.

Parameters
