get_intensity method is broken

[brandonaltieri1]

This method does not seem to work - it yields the exception attached below. I believe it should instead be:

def get_intensity(self) -> float:
  """Get the current intensity value in volts.
  
  :raises: ProberException if an error occured.
  :returns: The intensity value.
  """
  
  self.comm.send("siph:get_intensity")
  resp = Response.check_resp(self.comm.read_line())
  # prober returns the light intensity shifted by one decimal place to the right
  return float(resp.message()) * 1e-1

I am planning on using this library extensively in the future - are there any plans to add unit tests to this repo? This seems like a bug that could be caught easily enough by a simple unit test.

Thanks!

We are currently working on test automation for the remote command subsystem. Primary focus is testing the remote commands but this will involve using the Python API. So it is likely that unit test will be added for the Python API in the future.

As a workaround for this specific issue I would suggest to directly send the remote command via the python api. Specifically with the command:

resp = prober.send_cmd("siph:get_intensity")

You will have to parse the value from the response manually but it should allow you to get the required information.

The defective function will be fixed as soon as possible. Your fix seems to be ok but i need to talk with the team about this specific function. It is missing some parameters that the underlying remote command has and you seem to have added an additional division by 10 probably because SENTIO is returning raw values from the controller. This is something we may also address but this requires more coordination to be backwards compatible.

Amazing, thank you!

Will do, indeed I have a workaround that seems to be working for now

I have applied a fix along the lines what you already proposed. However i cannot include the division by 10 in the python logic as our policy is that the python return value and the remote command return value should be the same.

issue should be fixed
