Device configuration

Configuration methods write their values to the connected device immediately.

from radiacode import CTRL, DisplayDirection, RadiaCode

with RadiaCode() as device:
    device.set_language("en")
    device.set_display_brightness(5)
    device.set_display_off_time(30)
    device.set_display_direction(DisplayDirection.AUTO)
    device.set_sound_on(True)
    device.set_vibro_on(True)
    device.set_sound_ctrl([CTRL.BUTTONS, CTRL.DOSE_RATE_ALARM_1])

Accepted values

Method	Accepted values
set_language	"en" or "ru"
set_display_brightness	Integer from 0 through 9
set_display_off_time	5, 10, 15, or 30 seconds
set_display_direction	A DisplayDirection member
set_sound_on, set_vibro_on, set_device_on	Boolean

set_sound_ctrl() and set_vibro_ctrl() accept lists of CTRL flags. CTRL.CLICKS is not accepted by set_vibro_ctrl().

Alarm limits

Read all current alarm settings with get_alarm_limits():

with RadiaCode() as device:
    limits = device.get_alarm_limits()
    print(limits.count_unit, limits.l1_count_rate, limits.l2_count_rate)
    print(limits.dose_unit, limits.l1_dose_rate, limits.l2_dose_rate)

set_alarm_limits() updates only arguments that are supplied. Specify the display units when you want the method to scale values and update the unit registers:

with RadiaCode() as device:
    device.set_alarm_limits(
        l1_count_rate=5,
        l2_count_rate=10,
        count_unit_cpm=False,
        l1_dose_rate=0.3,
        l2_dose_rate=1.0,
        dose_unit_sv=True,
    )

The method raises ValueError when no limit is supplied or when a numeric limit is negative.

Reset operations

dose_reset() and spectrum_reset() clear accumulated state on the device. Treat them as irreversible device operations.
