Switch GUI

Creating a Switch GUI

To create a switch GUI subwindow:

1. Launch lys and open the proc.py file (press Ctrl+P).

2. Add the following code to define a class for the switch GUI subwindow and save it (press Ctrl+S).

from lys.widgets import LysSubWindow
from lys_instr import gui, dummy

class Window(LysSubWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        switch = dummy.MultiSwitchDummy("A", "B")   # Create the switch instance
        switchGUI = gui.MultiSwitchGUI(switch)      # Create the switch GUI
        self.setWidget(switchGUI)                   # Embed the switch GUI in the lys subwindow
        self.adjustSize()

Calling Window() in the lys command line launches the GUI subwindow as follows:

The dummy switch supports multiple levels: “OFF”, “LOW”, “MEDIUM”, and “HIGH”. Select the desired state for each switch in the list and click “Apply” to enact the change. The indicator next to each switch shows its connection status—green for connected, red for disconnected or error.

To implement your own switch, create a class that inherits from MultiSwitchInterface and implements the required methods, similar to the approach described for the Motor.
