Developing a Dummy server

[mattketk]

Requirements

• basically mocks the behavior of the andor camera so we can test the camera's functions without actually using the camera
• scanning through the andor sdk and writing mock functions in python
• painful process :(

List of functions to emulate behavior of:

• initialize
• setReadMode
• setAcquisitionMode
• setExposureTime
• getAcquisitionTimings
• getStatus
• getDetector
• setShutter
• setImage
• startAcquisition
• waitForAcquisition
• abortAcquisition
• getAcquiredData
• coolerOn
• coolerOff
• setTargetTEC
• getStatusTEC
• getRangeTEC
• setFanMode

Things to explore about temperature:
-What should the initial temperature of the camera be?
-What is the temperature that indicates the camera is overheated?
-How do we know which of the error codes to return?
-What is a valid temperature range the camera can be cooled to?
