Read and write master:Line_Out_Disp 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:Line_Out_Disp"):   # the exact definition, namespace first
    params = comp.parameters()           # every parameter, as PSCAD holds it
    print(str(params["DataF"]))          # Frequency for Calculation (must be greater than 0.0), in Hz

comp = project.find_all("master:Line_Out_Disp")[0]
comp.parameters(DataF="120 [Hz]")        # 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 without master: comes back empty; the Builder's px_find walks the pages for those.

The Builder's runtime does the same with the unit handled for you: px_get(comp, "DataF") and px_set(...), which also records the old value so the case is put back at the end. Getting started shows them.

Configuration

DataFRealHz60.0Frequency for Calculation (must be greater than 0.0)Enter the steady-state frequency for calculation of the output file data [Hz].Range 1e-038 to 1e+038
MVAbaseRealMVA100.0Rated System MVAEnter the system base MVA for calculation of per-unit values in the Load Flow RXB Formatted Data section of the output file [MVA].Range 1e-038 to 1e+038
RipRealohm1.0E5Include Shunt Resistance when calculated values are less than:If calculated shunt resistances are greater than this number, they will not be included when the equivalent pi-section component is built [ohm].Range 1e-038 to 1e+038

Zero_TolReal·1e-19Default Zero Tolerance for DisplayEnter a value, below which all display data will be set to exactly 0.0. This can help in making the output data file easier to read.Range 1e-083 to 1e+083
picompChoice·DISABLEDCreation of Equivalent Pi-section Definition isSelect whether to enable or disable equivalent pi-section creation. If enabled, an equivalent pi-section component definition (*.psdx) file, representing this right-of-way, will be created and placed in the project temporary folder each time this segment is solved.Written as DISABLED (Disabled), ENABLED (Enabled)
