This is used from the startup scripts to build the propertylist without using the default propertylist

Runs all device property change requests that have been made since the device was declared busy.

Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.

Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Returns active property list for this device. Values autoupdate and produce an event to ensure all users have the same value

Gets active information from each single property value for this device. Values autoupdate and produce an event to ensure all users have the same value

Returns all the gory details about the property given in propname

Gets a list of all the property names possible for this device.

Gets the value of the device property directly from Micromanager or whatever is the source

Gets a snapshot of all the device properties and their current values

Serves as a hash function for a particular type.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

This builds the device property list. It must be called before the device does anything. Setting clear properties to false allows the device adapter or user to build the property list in several steps. This is useful for devices that have both real micromanager properties as well as virtual properties such as the function generators

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Receives notification that the value has been updated

Determines if a device property has been marked as needing to be saved

This runs a CommandState command. This is used to change a property value, or can be a custom command for this device

Sets the value of the device property. All values must be strings as this is the protocol set by micromanager. If the device is busy, then this will wait until the device is ready to accept commands

Connects the default property listing GUI to this device. The properties are automatically loaded into the prop list.

Returns a String that represents the current Object.

This should be set when the device should not be interupped such as the stage being in motion, or an expose has started

All devices should be given a name, but it does not have to be unique

Notifications to the GUI on how it should behave. This is very important for those devices that are virtual, (especially scripts.)

Shows the number of possible states for the device

Some device properties are not saved from one session to the next This gives a list of those properties that the user defined as needing to be saved

Sets the state of the device
