Finite State Machine (FSM) is a mathematical model of a closed or opened loop discreet-event systems with well defined state. It is wildly used to define functioning system and control their execution. In the case of MX beamlines and MXCuBE FSM represents different state where certain action from a user is requested. It is possible to describe a sequence of user actions as a discreet state that are logically connected. For example, each MX experiment requires a crystal to be mounted on a goniostat. If not crystal is mounted then it makes no sense to continue an experiment. The actual transition logic is implemented in the update_fsm_state()

condition_changed(condition_name, value)[source]#: Event when condition of a hardware object has been changed

get_condition_list()[source]#: Returns list of conditions

get_state_list()[source]#: Returns list of available state

get_transition_list()[source]#: Returns list of available transitions

init()[source]#: Hardware object init.

re_emit_values()[source]#: Reemits signals

update_fsm_state()[source]#: Updates state machine We look at the current state and available transitions from it If all conditions of a transition is met then the tranition is executed and signal is emitted.
