master:cfilter parametersPSCAD C-Type Filter
Every parameter of the PSCAD C-Type Filter (master:cfilter): 11 names, with the unit, the default and the meaning PSCAD gives each one. Copy a name into parameters().
What master:cfilter is
C-Type Filter (C-type filter), a component of PSCAD's Master Library, filed under passive branches, loads and filters.
- Definition
master:cfilter- PSCAD name

- Category
- Passive branches, loads and filters
- Parameters
- 11, in 1 group; 7 carry a unit

Read and write master:cfilter in Python
import mhi.pscad
pscad = mhi.pscad.connect() # the PSCAD that is open; launch() starts one
project = pscad.project("my_case") # a case loaded in the workspace
for comp in project.find_all("master:cfilter"): # the exact definition, namespace first
params = comp.parameters() # every parameter, as PSCAD holds it
print(str(params["C"])) # Series Capacitance, in uF
comp = project.find_all("master:cfilter")[0]
comp.parameters(C="20.96 [uF]") # a value that carries a unit is written with it- A parameter is named exactly as in the table, letter case included:
parameters()gives every one of them in a dictionary, and a name the component does not have is refused. - A value that carries a unit comes back as a number whose unit is only in its text, so read it as text first (
str(...)) or the unit is lost. PSCAD keeps a written unit as it is given:"2500 [mohm]"stays in mohm. - A Choice is read and written as its symbol (the capitals in "Written as"), not as the words PSCAD shows in the dialog.
find_all()takes the exact definition only. A wildcard or a bare name withoutmaster:comes back empty; the Builder'spx_findwalks the pages for those.
The Builder's runtime does the same with the unit handled for you: px_get(comp, "C") and px_set(...), which also records the old value so the case is put back at the end. Getting started shows them.
