SequenceApp.scan_time

SequenceApp.scan_time()

Return the time the whole chain of prescans and main sequence plays, in seconds.

This is duration when init_sequence sets it, and nothing is designed; a stated duration can include waits for a trigger, which the blocks of a file do not time. Otherwise every file of the chain is designed, as write() designs them, which leaves the main sequence in seq.

Returns:

The summed duration of the files of the chain, in seconds.

Return type:

float

Examples

>>> from pypulseqpp import sequences
>>> app = sequences.gre2D_sequence.Gre2DApp(n_x=32, n_y=16, tr=50e-3, n_dummy=0)
>>> app.scan_time()
0.8
>>> round(app.design().duration()[0], 9)
0.8
