byteblowerll.byteblower.Stream¶

class byteblowerll.byteblower.Stream(*args, **kwargs)¶

A ByteBlower stream is an object representing a stream of ByteBlower frames (Frame) used for transmission on a ByteBlower port.

A ByteBlower stream contains the following data:

Frames: A list of Frame objects
NumberOfFrames: The number of frames the stream should transmit
InterFrameGap: The inter frame gap between 2 transmitted frames
InitialTimeToWait: An initial time to wait, if needed
TimingModifier: A timing modifier

Example

A typical stream usage flow¶

stream = port.TxStreamAdd()
stream.NumberOfFramesSet(1000)
stream.InterFrameGapSet(1000000)

frame = stream.FrameAdd()
# Configure the frame ...

stream.Start()

__init__(*args, **kwargs)¶: Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

`FrameGet`()	Returns list of frames on this stream.
`GrowingSizeModifierAdd`()	Adds a Growing Size modifier to the stream
`InitialTimeToWaitGet`()	Returns the time to wait before the first frame will be sent.
`InitialTimeToWaitSet`(initTimeToWait)	Sets a delay before sending the first frame.
`InterFrameGapGet`()	Returns the inter-frame gap for the stream.
`InterFrameGapSet`(interFrameGap)	Sets the inter-frame gap for the stream.
