[tauruslib-devel] [PATCH 1/5] Remove _applyConfig from taurusattribute and move setters

[Marc J. R. S. <mro...@ce...>]

Tango specific members have to be removed from taurusattribute.
Remove _applyConfig from taurusattribute.
Move setter methods from taurusattribute to tangoattribute and adapt
them in order to use the method from the parent class taurusattribute
and subsequently apply the configuration.

Patch applied to develop.
I just changed the :type: sphinx directive by the current standard of 
taurus of putting the type in parentheses.

Re: [tauruslib-devel] Question about taurus model for commands.

[Carlos P. <cpa...@ce...>]

Hi Giacomo,

Sorry for this late reply (I just returned from Holidays).

In a first quick look your solution seems ok for me, but I want to give 
some "insider" tips:

- As Zibi mentioned, some discussions already took place about whether 
/how to support commands via taurus models. We left it out of the 
current core refactoring (TEP3 & TEP14) because we wanted to think it 
over carefully. I would be very interested in getting your help and/or 
opinions in for that feature (we can discuss in the tauruslib-devel 
mailing list)

-  As for your tango-command-plot implementation: I am sorry that the 
current API of TaurusPlot is so convoluted. A few years ago I started a 
parallel implementation of plots in the extra_guiqwt submodule (see  
TaurusCurveDialog and TaurusCurveItem). This alternative API is simpler 
and may make your implementation easier. But the abandonment of the 
PyQwt library put a hold on the extra_guiqwt development (although the 
existing TaurusCurveDialog and TaurusCurveItem are perfectly usable). In 
your case, implementing a "TangoCommandCurveItem" should be quite easy 
and a bit more elegant than what you were forced to do with TaurusPlot.

- As for the future of plots in Taurus: since TaurusPlot is also affected 
by the abandonment of PyQwt, it is a top priority for us to develop a 
new qwt-free plot widget (probably using PyQtGraph). Its API will 
probably follow the lines of what was done in the 
taurus.qt.qtgui.extra_guiqwt  submodule. I would love to have something 
ready for the Jan16 or Jul16 release). Again, any comments and help will 
be greatly appreciated.

I hope this was useful, and sorry for the spam in the Tango list. 
I propose to follow the discussion in the tauruslib mailing lists.

Carlos

Re: [tauruslib-devel] taurusdesigner does not show Taurus Widget

[Carlos M. F. T. <cf...@ce...>]

Hi Giacomo,
It is the right procedure.. Did you use sudo for install taurus?
Could you put back the original  taurusdesigner.py file,  Then please 
launch  in a  new console the:

%designer
and
%taurusdesigner

Do you see something similar to the attached files?
In image named taurusdesigner.png, you can see the expected taurus 
widgets.  For getting it, I wrote in the filter textbox of the designer 
"taurus".  It shows all the widgets whose name starts with taurus.  
Could send me your screenshots?

If still the problem lets try another thing  (we'll test if there was 
problem during the installation), in a  new console add to your 
PYTHONPATH the TAURUS_GIT_CLONE_PATH/lib, like that:

export PYTHONPATH=TAURUS_GIT_CLONE_PATH/lib:$PYTHONPATH

and launch again the taurusdesigner (now you are using the git clone src)

Do you see something different?


Best, Carlos

Re: [tauruslib-devel] taurusdesigner does not show Taurus Widget

[Carlos M. F. T. <cf...@ce...>]

Hi Giacomo,
Which version of taurus are you using? and  How do you installed?
I tested with Taurus 3.6.0 and from GIT and I don't see any problem with 
the designer.

These are rare messages for me, and I don't know  from where it comes; 
maybe something is missing or is unconfigured:

PYTHONPATH=None
PYQTDESIGNERPATH=/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/taurus/qt/qtdesigner
default KB_LAYOUT_DIR:  "/usr/share/qtermwidget4/kb-layouts/"

I will try to figure out a little more  about this message.

Best,
Carlos

Re: [tauruslib-devel] [PATCH] Document difference between active and enabled polling

[Sergi R. <sr...@ce...>]

Merci!!!, just to provide a bit of context; it was to clarify that 
isPollingEnabled()==True does not mean that the polling is active. 
enablePolling(True) must be called if you don't have any registered 
listener.

[tauruslib-devel] Document some taurusattribute polling methods

[Zbigniew R. <zre...@ce...>]

Dear all,

In the following mail I propose documentation of some taurusattribute polling
related methods. My understanding of them is based on some emprirical tests. 

Feel free to comment,
Zibi

Re: [tauruslib-devel] Tango server and Taurus client interaction problem.

[Александр С. <sen...@gm...>]

Hello Zbigniew,

I have run both of tests, no memory usage growth was observed.
It seems that avoiding "signal.name" is acceptable solution.

Thanks for your help!

Re: [tauruslib-devel] Question about taurus model for commands.

[Zbigniew R. <zre...@ce...>]

Hi Giacomo,

It's good to hear that you are not blocked anymore with this problem.
Maybe when Carlos Pascual is back from holidays, he could comment on the 
solution that you found (he has developed the TaurusPlot widget).
Just for the curiosity, why you do not use the tango or taurus polling 
instead of the Qt reading thread?

Cheers,
Zibi

Re: [tauruslib-devel] Tango server and Taurus client interaction problem.

[Zbigniew R. <zre...@ce...>]

Dear Alexander,

To be honest I've not experienced this problem before. But I will try to 
help you with what I know.
The warning message comes from the push_event method of the 
TangoConfiguration class.
This method is passed as a callback when subscribing to the attribute's 
configuration event.
In the code it has an interesting comment:

#===================================================================
# This is a safety net to catch "zombie" TangoConfiguration objects
# when they get called.
# If you get here, there is some bug elsewhere which should be
# investigated.
# Without this safety net, you would get exceptions.
# We assume that a TangoConfiguration object which has no listeners
# and which is not associated to a TangoAttribute, is a "zombie".

 From the taurus script which you attached in the Tango forum entry, the 
code responsible for subscribing to this event is: signal.name.
The attribute name is obtained from the Tango configuration object and 
Taurus subscribes to configuration events the first time one tries to 
obtain some value from it like label, units, name, etc..

In order to debug the problem could you please:

1) Try to do not use the signal.name in your code and substitite if by 
signal.getSimpleName() and check if the memory also grows?

2) Try to execute the following code and see if the memory also grows:

import time
import PyTango

period = YOUR_POLLING_PERIOD
d = PyTango.DeviceProxy(YOUR_DEVICE_NAME)

while True:
     print d.read_attribute('signal').value[0:5]
     time.sleep(period)

Please let us know about results of your tests.

Cheers,
Zibi

Re: [tauruslib-devel] Question about taurus model for commands.

[Zbigniew R. <zre...@ce...>]

Hi Giacomo,

I see that in this example you use attributes and not commands. This 
will make easier to play with taurusplot.

I bet that you must already know how to use a standalone taurusplot 
application e.g.

taurusplot sys/tg_test/1/wave

and that with --taurus-polling-period=MILLISEC argument you can change 
polling of the plotted attributes.
So playing with this period we see a difference in refreshing of the 
plot (the default period is 3 seconds):

taurusplot sys/tg_test/1/wave --taurus-polling-period=10000
taurusplot sys/tg_test/1/wave --taurus-polling-period=1000

I think that the following execution of the taurusplot should be 
equivalent to what you try to achieve:

taurusplot --taurus-polling-period=100 
srv-tango-srf.fcs:20000/sfel01/diagnostics/cbpm_sfel01.03/{HorCalSumPickup,VerCalSumPickup,HorCalDeltaPickup,VerCalDeltaPickup}

Please read the following thread which talks about the "taurus polling 
period", the consequences of changing its value, and alternatives:
https://sourceforge.net/p/tauruslib/taurus-devel/message/34272929/

You can do the same in the code, please see the attachment.

Regarding you script, I have simplified it to work with taurusplot 
sys/tg_test/1/wave only, and it works for me. As you mentioned the curve 
seems to be recreated, cause they changes colors. I'm not an expert of 
the taurusplot widget so I can not give you better ways to implement it 
right now.
I would need to investigate a little bit to give you feedback about it.

If you still need to program it using your own update thread, just let 
us know and we will continue investigating.

Cheers,
Zibi

[tauruslib-devel] Tango server and Taurus client interaction problem.

[Александр С. <sen...@gm...>]

Hello.

I have been faced with a problem.
When i connect to tango server from taurus client, server memory usage
grows.
When i use C++ client or jive, it doesn't.

When server increases memory consumption, taurus client issues a warning:
Dummy-2 WARNING 2015-07-30 18:24:55,560
devhost:10000.simple2/gen/dev1.signal.configuration:
"Zombie" object
(TangoConfiguration(devhost:10000/simple2/gen/dev1/signal?configuration))
received an event. Unsubscribing it.

Tango Server system:
CPU powerpc
OS debian lenny
gcc 4.3.2
Tango 8.1.2c
zeromq 4.1.2
omniorb 4.1.6

Taurus Clietns system:

OS debian 8 jessie amd 64
gcc 4.9
omniorb 4.1.6

I also started discussion in Tango forum:

Re: [tauruslib-devel] Question about taurus model for commands.

[Giacomo S. <gia...@el...>]

Hello, thanks for your help.
I almost realized what I need.
Please see the attached source code.

The problem (one of the problems, maybe), is that maybe when I update
the values of the four curves in the plot I should not
call attachRawData.
What I see actually, are the curves flickering (appearing and
disappearing) at each refresh.

This means they are continuosly removed/re added.

In the documentation I've not found the correct method to simply fetch
the curve with a given name and change its values.

Thanks for any help.
Giacomo.

Re: [tauruslib-devel] Problem with TaurusPlot

[Carlos M. F. T. <cf...@ce...>]

Hi Giacomo,
First at all, I moved the thread to the taurus list, that is more 
convenient for this kind of discussions.

If you are not in there, you can subscribe it in
     http://sourceforge.net/p/tauruslib/taurus-devel/?source=navbar

I'm not able to reproduce your problem in my system (Tango8, 
PyTango8.1.3 and Taurus from git (develop branch)). So, we need more 
information for help you.

Which tango, pytango and taurus libraries are you using?

Can you plot the two attribute separately?
     % taurusplot tom:20000/sr/feedback/bpm_s1.2/HorSpectrum
     %taurusplot tom:20000/sr/feedback/bpm_s1.2/VerSpectrum

Can you reproduce  the problem with tangotest and DevFloat attributes:
     % taurusplot  sys/tg_test/1/float_spectrum 
sys/tg_test/1/float_spectrum_ro
or
     % taurusplot  tango://TANGOHOST1/sys/tg_test/1/float_spectrum_ro 
tango://TANGOHOST2/sys/tg_test/1/float_spectrum_ro

Do you have configure events in your device? Or, Do you do something 
special with these attributes?

Could you try to reproduce the problem with the attached device server 
(it uses polling)?

You can test it with taurusplot or your code.
     % taurusplot twodevfloat/test/1/attr_1 twodevfloat/test/1/attr_2

Best,
Carlos Falcon

[tauruslib-devel] Taurus{Plot,Trend} setEventFilters patch

[Sergi Blanch-T. <sb...@ce...>]

Hello,

I've found that the reimplementation of the setFilterEvents in the
classes TaurusPlot and TaurusTrend didn't have the "preqt" boolean in
the arguments.

I've prepared a patch to have this argument and to propagate is to the
curves composing the widget.

Thanks

Re: [tauruslib-devel] [Sardana-devel] Coming back from sourceforge's downtime

[Carlos P. <cpa...@ce...>]

Hi,

Sourceforge's git repos are operative again, so the backups in github 
will be removed.
The backup for taurus is already removed and the one for sardana will 
follow as soon as the release-Jan15 is not needed anymore.

Please use the official repos from sourceforge from now on.

Cheers,

Carlos

[tauruslib-devel] New release of Taurus 3.6.0 (Jul15)

[Carlos P. <cpa...@ce...>]

Hi all,

The new Taurus release 3.6.0 (corresponding to the Jul15 milestone) is 
now available to download from PyPI  (source and windows installer):
    
    http://pypi.python.org/pypi/taurus/3.6.0


To install from source, download the tarball, untar and run:
    
    % python setup.py install 

The documentation is available at:

    http://www.taurus-scada.org

The main improvements since taurus 3.4.0 (aka Jan15) are:
    
    - support of user creation/removal of custom external application
      launchers at run time (see #158)
    - support of LimaCCDs DS (see #175) and improvements in the codecs
    - taurusplot/trend uses the same order than the legend for exported
      data (see #161)
    - Fixed memory leaks in plots/trends (see #171)
    - fixed many bugs in TaurusPlot,  TaurusWheel,  TaurusImageDialog,
      and several other places
    - Docs: several improvements and made ReadTheDocs-compliant
    
For a detailed list of solved issues, see:

    http://sourceforge.net/p/tauruslib/tickets/milestone/Jul15/
    
You can also get the full log of commits, from your local git repo with:

    git log 3.4.0..3.6.0

If you encounter problems installing or running this release, please
report them back to the taurus mailing list:

    tau...@li...

or put a ticket in the taurus project:

    http://sourceforge.net/p/tauruslib/tickets/

Cheers!

Carlos (on behalf of all the release team)

PS: before someone asks about the jump in version number... a v3.5.0 
exists in the git repo but was not released in pypi ;)

[tauruslib-devel] Coming back from sourceforge's downtime

[Carlos P. <cpa...@ce...>]

Hi,

You probably noticed that, since last Thursday SourceForge suffered a 
major downtime which affected the taurus and sardana 
mailing lists among other services (see details in [1]).

If you sent some email to the list and it hasn't gone through, 
reconsider sending it again.

At the moment of writing this, most of the "user" services are back, but 
the "developer" tools (e.g. git repos) are still missing.

If you need access to the **develop** git branches of taurus or sardana, 
you can access them on the backup repos that I uploaded to github [2]. 
We are also using these backup repos for coordinating the Jul15 release.
Please note that once the git services on sourceforge are back to 
normal, these github backup repos won't be updated anymore (and may be 
removed).

Cheers,

Carlos

Re: [tauruslib-devel] [PATCH] Patches for bug-171

[Zbigniew R. <zre...@ce...>]

Hi Carlos,

I've applied your patches to develop.
Indeed in the modern OS version, like mine openSUSE 13.1, the leak 
disappeared completely.
In the openSUSE 11.1 (both 32 and 64 bits) I have seen sporadic 
increases of the memory, but for sure not proportional to the 
application uptime.
The application can last for tens of hours with the same memory 
footprint, but it may slightly change (<100 bytes) in some unknown 
occasions.

Thanks for your contribution!
Zibi
