Description

In the new Quokka beamstop design, we can run all beamstop simultaneously.

Currently running SICS devices in Python is impossible due to the threading issue in callback mechanism. So, this synchronous execution can only be done in Java. As the result, for running multi devices in GumTree, we need to do this in Java.

Currently the SICS proxy does not have a logical place for placing this function. Hence, we introduce a new helper class, MultiDrivableRunner, to handle this feature.

The design of this runner is to launch multiple threads for calling the synchronous "drive" method in the controller, and wait until all threads have completed their drive method. In the event of interrupt, all thread will exit and hence the runner will stop.

This runner class can be used in Python:

from gumpy.commons import sics
from org.gumtree.gumnix.sics.control import MultiDrivableRunner

runner = MultiDrivableRunner()
runner.addDrivable(sics.getSicsController().findDeviceController('my'), -10.0, False)
runner.addDrivable(sics.getSicsController().findDeviceController('mx'), -5.0, False)
runner.drive()
