Using Fandango from the Linux Shell

The tango_servers script allows to start/stop/check devices:

> tango_servers stop "PyPLC/plctest*"

> tango_servers start "PyPLC/plctest*"

> tango_servers status "*/*otr*"

  Loading */*otr* devices

  ds_imggrabber/bo01_fsotr01:     ON
          bo01/di/fsotr-01-ccd:   OPEN
          bo01/di/fsotr-01-iba:   RUNNING
          dserver/ds_imggrabber/bo01_fsotr01:     ON

  ds_imggrabber/bo02_fsotr01:     ON
          bo02/di/fsotr-01-ccd:   OPEN
          bo02/di/fsotr-01-iba:   RUNNING
          dserver/ds_imggrabber/bo02_fsotr01:     ON

  ds_imggrabber/bo03_fsotr01:     ON
          bo03/di/fsotr-01-ccd:   OPEN
          bo03/di/fsotr-01-iba:   RUNNING
          dserver/ds_imggrabber/bo03_fsotr01:     ON

You can also start devices on an specific host:

> tango_servers stop PyPLC/plctest12

> tango_servers ctlabserver start PyPLC/plctest12

Most fandango methods can be launched from Unix shell (the launcher was called fandango.sh in previous versions):

> fandango --help # will return the list of commands available

> fandango --help [command] # will return the command help

> fandango get_tango_host

  localhost:10000

> fandango findModule fandango

  /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fandango

> fandango get_matching_attributes "mach/ct/composer/*"

  mach/ct/composer/averagepressure
  mach/ct/composer/averagecurrent

> fandango read_attribute mach/ct/composer/averagecurrent

  119.1

> fandango get_matching_device_properties sr04/vc/eps-plc-01 "*"
