PID values in custom function

[Steffen]

Hello,

the values of the PID module (PID_stable, PID_in_range and PID_stable_change) are passed as numpy.float64 when transferred to a custom function, whereby they are boolen values or an int value (PID_stable_change). This occurs in version 1.5.6, in version 1.5.5 it still works. It is possible to convert the values to boolean, but this is not the solution.

Best regards,
Steffen

Hello Steffen,

thanks for reporting the issue. We will check what is going on.

Thanks and best,

In the meantime, I think adding a bool conversion to your custom function is a workaround that works with both versions and makes sure you have correct data type. The values for PID_stable, PID_in_range and PID_stable_change should still be always 0.0 or 1.0 and allow for a proper conversion.

Your problem is probably related to how some data types are saved in the data manager of SweepMe! in version 1.5.6, a problem related to this issue

Hi Felix, we figured out the problem which is related to how data is internally stored in our data manager. While the Widget ‘Parameters’ just gives a snapshot of the last added value, the history of all data is saved in another format. When there are list of strings that can be converted to numbers, there is at the moment at automatic conversion to float. The same holds true for integers. Please note that this does not affect how data is saved or visualized in the Plot. It however plays a rol…
