Thorlabs K10CR1 Rotation Stage¶

Driver for controlling Thorlabs Kinesis devices. Currently only directs the K10CR1 rotation stage.

class instrumental.drivers.motion.kinesis.K10CR1(serial, gear_box_ratio=120, steps_per_rev=200, micro_steps_per_step=2048, polling_period='200 ms', offset='0 deg')¶

Class for controlling Thorlabs K10CR1 integrated stepper rotation stages

Takes the serial number of the device as a string as well as the gear box ratio, steps per revolution and microsteps per step as integers. It also takes the polling period as a pint quantity.

The polling period, which is how often the device updates its status, is passed as a pint pint quantity with units of time and is optional argument, with a default of 200ms

Parameters:	serial (str) – polling_period (pint quantity with units of time) –

K10CR1.close()¶

K10CR1.get_messages()¶

K10CR1.get_next_message()¶

K10CR1.home(wait=False)¶

Home the stage

Parameters:	wait (bool, optional) – Wait until the stage has finished homing to return

K10CR1.homing_finished()¶: Check if the most recent homing operation has finished

K10CR1.move_finished()¶: Check if the most recent move has finished

K10CR1.move_to(angle, wait=False)¶

Rotate the stage to the given angle

Parameters:	angle (Quantity) – Angle that the stage will rotate to. Takes the stage offset into account.

K10CR1.wait_for_home()¶: Wait for the most recent homing operation to complete

K10CR1.wait_for_move()¶: Wait for the most recent move to complete
