de_twin.clock.Clock

class de_twin.clock.Clock(time_scale=1.0)

Bases: object

Real-time clock, optionally scaled.

time_scale > 1 makes simulated time run faster than wall time: an in-situ anneal that takes 10 minutes on the microscope can be replayed in one minute with time_scale=10. Frame pacing still sleeps in wall time (frame_time / time_scale), so the whole twin speeds up consistently.

Parameters:

time_scale (float)

__init__(time_scale=1.0)

Parameters:

time_scale (float)

Methods

__init__([time_scale])
now()	Simulated seconds since the clock was created.
set_time_scale(time_scale)
sleep(sim_seconds)
sleep_until(sim_time)

Attributes

virtual

now()

Return type:

float

set_time_scale(time_scale)

Parameters:

time_scale (float)

Return type:

None

sleep(sim_seconds)

Parameters:

sim_seconds (float)

Return type:

None

sleep_until(sim_time)

Parameters:

sim_time (float)

Return type:

None
