Instrument management (async)
The InstrumentManagerAsync() class and supporting functions use asyncio to provide a high-performance concurrent interface for instrument control.
These api for these functions and classes remain largely the same as the sequential (non-async) version.
The main difference is that these are async enabled. This means you have to use the await/async expressions to manage the event loop.
For example, to start a measurement:
>>> import pypalmsens as ps
>>> method = ps.CyclicVoltammetry()
>>> await ps.measure(method)
Or to manage the connection yourself:
>>> async with await ps.connect_async() as manager:
... method = ps.ChronoAmperometry()
... measurement = await manager.measure(method)
Or using InstrumentManagerAsync() directly as a context manager:
>>> instruments = await discover_async()
>>> async with ps.InstrumentManagerAsync(instruments[0]) as manager:
... measurement = await manager.measure(method)
Or managing the instrument connection yourself:
>>> instruments = await discover_async()
>>> manager = ps.InstrumentManagerAsync(instruments[0])
>>> await manager.connect()
... # ...
>>> await manager.disconnect()
For more information, see the measurement documentation.
