[ACBridgeWithMultiPlexer] things get weird if accessed from different contexts #18

Closed roboguy222 closed 8 years ago

roboguy222 commented 8 years ago

Basically, multiple loops are going at the same time trying to take temperature. If one context accesses some multiplexer and adds channels, and another context does the same, those channels should be added into the same array, not separate loops for each context. This is common if we just restart the adrserver, so it is quite important. A global dict needs to be created holding the channels for each device, instead of storing them in c.

Is this is a case when the device locks should be used? I think GPIB server may have them implemented but I've never used them.

I don't think we want to use device locks here, no. Both contexts should still be able to access the server I think.
