Read and write master:radiolink 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:radiolink"): # the exact definition, namespace first
params = comp.parameters() # every parameter, as PSCAD holds it
print(str(params["Max"])) # Upper Limit
comp = project.find_all("master:radiolink")[0]
comp.parameters(Max="2") # written as text- 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, "Max") and px_set(...), which also records the old value so the case is put back at the end. Getting started shows them.

MinReal | · | -1.0 | Lower LimitThe default minimum value to be used for display in a graph or a meter |
ModeChoice | · | RECEIVE | ModeThe link may be specied as either a source (transmit) or sink (receive).Written as RECEIVE (Receive), TRANSMIT (Transmit) |
NameText | · | RadioLink | NameThe signal name provided for the definition. |
SourceText | · | · | DefinitionSpecify receiver using [namespace:definition]. If the namespace is omitted the current project is assumed.Used when Mode==0 |

captionText | · | $(Name) [$(Rank)] | CaptionEnter a name for curve title, if left empty the Name will be displayed |
dimInteger | · | 1 | DimensionThe dimension of the signal. If receiving, this dimension must match that defined by the transmitter.At least 1 |
rankInteger | · | 0 | RankFor (SPMD) the rank specified the instance index of the foreign namespace.Range 0 to 127Used when rccon==1 |
rcconChoice | · | NO | Inter Project Transfer?In a root control situation, signals in Master project can be transmitted as constants to Slave projectsWritten as NO (No), YES (Yes) |
