Simple piezo struggling with decimal.Decimal #875

Closed iandobbie closed 9 months ago

iandobbie commented 10 months ago

Trying to run an experiment with a simplePiezo being run by the red pitaya as the executor running the stage.

Seems like the root cause is this error, trying to sleep a time defined by a decimal.Decimal

Thinking about this further it seems like the system is dropping out of the red pitaya control for the piezo, like I havent properly added the analog definition for the device.

There is definitely a bug, I think we just need to cast the Decimal to a float, but I also think my analog control on the Red Pitaya isnt actually working properly. I will investigate.
