BaseSensor

class lsst.ts.ess.common.sensor.BaseSensor(log, num_channels=0)

Bases: ABC

Base class for the different types of Sensors.

This class holds all common code for the sensors. Sensor specific code, which extracts the telemetry from the sensor data, needs to be implemented in a sub-class.

Parameters:

• log (logging.Logger) – The logger to create a child logger for.

• num_channels (int, optional) – The number of channels that the sensor will produce telemetry for. The default value is 0 meaning that the number of channels is not variable.
