class pymodaq_utils.utils.ThreadCommand(command: str, attribute=None, attributes=None)

Bases: object

Generic object to pass info (command) and data (attribute) between thread or objects using signals

Parameters:

• command (str) – The command to be analysed for further action

• attribute (any type) – the attribute related to the command. The actual type and value depend on the command and the situation

• attributes (deprecated, attribute should be used instead) –

command

The command to be analysed for further action

Type:

str

attribute

the attribute related to the command. The actual type and value depend on the command and the situation

Type:

any type
