Z_Drive¶

Bases: SamplePositioning_Type

Represents the XML element Z-Drive.

This element describes a Focusing Device designed to electronically control a moving a mechanical part of the Microscope such as the Stage (see Stage-APE), or the Microscope Stand itself (e.g. most dissecting Microscopes). An example of such devices is the MFC-2000 Z-Axis Drive and Controller (http://www.asiimaging.com/controllers/mfc-2000-z-axis-drive-and-controller/#tab-id-4).

`fromBase(base)` `staticmethod` ¶

Cast a NBOBaseClass to a Z_Drive.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`base`	`NBOBaseClass`	The base class to cast	required

Returns:

Type	Description
`Z_Drive`	The casted element, or nullptr if the cast fails

`getTypeName()` ¶

Returns:

Type	Description
`string`	The class type name

`getXMLName()` ¶

Returns:

Type	Description
`string`	The XML element name

`getNBOType()` ¶

Returns the NBO Type corresponding to this class.

Returns:

Type	Description
`int`	The NBO Type value

`getChildren()` ¶

Returns a list of all classes derived from this class.

Returns:

Type	Description
`List[NBOBaseClass]`	The list of derived classes

`getSubElements()` ¶

Returns a list of all child elements contained in this class.

Returns:

Type	Description
`List[NBOBaseClass]`	The list of child classes
