libtcspc.RealLinearTimingEvent¶

class libtcspc.RealLinearTimingEvent(numeric_traits=None)[source]¶

Bases: EventType

Event describing a linear (repeating) sequence of timings.

Emitted by AddCountToPeriodicSequences. Can be used as the trigger pattern for Generate with a dynamic linear timing generator.

Parameters:: numeric_traits (NumericTraits or None) – Set of integer types parameterising the C++ event. None (the default) uses NumericTraits defaults.

Notes

The corresponding C++ event has the fields abstime, delay, interval, and count.

A value is constructed by giving all fields, e.g. RealLinearTimingEvent(nt).value(abstime=42, delay=1.0, interval=2.0, count=10); read them back as attributes (inst.abstime).

Constructing and inspecting individual event values from Python is intended for debugging and learning only and is extremely slow; production graphs process events in compiled C++ and exchange bulk data via buckets.
