InsertEntryToMachineLibrary

MachineLibraryBuilder.InsertEntryToMachineLibrary

Insert a machine entry to the machine_database.

dat. The libref is the name of the machine entry, that is copied, the libref appended by a count and the new entry is put in the list as next entry. If the libref is empty, a default entry is add to the bottom of the list.

Signature InsertEntryToMachineLibrary(selectedMachineName)

Parameters:selectedMachineName (str) – machine name (libref), that will copied
Returns:machine name (libref), of the new machien entry
Return type:str

RemoveEntryFromMachineLibrary

MachineLibraryBuilder.RemoveEntryFromMachineLibrary

Removes a machine entry from the machine_database.

dat. The libref is the name of the machine entry, that will reomved from the Library.

Signature RemoveEntryFromMachineLibrary(machineName)

Parameters:machineName (str) – machine name (libref)

Validate

MachineLibraryBuilder.Validate

Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

If the component is not in a state to commit then an exception is thrown. For example, if the component requires you to set some property, this method will throw an exception if you haven’t set it. This method throws a not-yet-implemented NXException for some components.

Signature Validate()

Returns:Was self validation successful
Return type:bool
