WasatchDevice features not available to BLE, TCP, Andor etc

[mzieg]

A pretty major design weakness of Wasatch.PY is that InterfaceDevice (the parent class that provides a common interface across USB, TCP, BLE, Andor and other spectrometer types) is inherited by WasatchDevice, NOT FeatureInterfaceDevice. That means that all of the "business logic" in WasatchDevice regarding scan averaging, Auto-Raman, TakeOne / BatchCollections etc, currently isn't supported for other protocols. It will be messy to fix, but worthwhile.

Hi mzieg,

I wanted to check in on this ticket before raising another one:
Does this mean that 'demo.py' program included in the Wasatch.py is not expected to work with your andor Raman spectrometers at the moment?

If so, what is the best short-term workaround for operating a Wasatch XL system in python?

Thanks to you and your team for all your work in this!

Cheers!

Hi Pi,

I will make sure we have a usable cmd-line demo for XL units while addressing the related WasatchPhotonics/ENLIGHTEN#547.
