This exception is raised when there is an issue with controlling the device, be it with its programming interface or with the physical hardware. It is most common when commands to the device fail or return something unexpected. .. note:: The subclasses `DisabledDeviceError`, `IncompatibleStateError`, `InitialiseError`, and `UnsupportedFeatureError` provide more fine grained exceptions.

This exception is raised when the device is in a state incompatible with an attempted operation, e.g., calling :mod:`trigger <microscope.abc.TriggerTargetMixin.trigger>` on a device that is set for hardware triggers. The subclass `DisabledDeviceError` provides an exception specific to the case where the issue is the device being disabled. .. note:: This exception is for attempting to perform some action but device is wrong state. If the issue is about a setting that is incompatible with some other setting that this specific device does not support, then `UnsupportedFeatureError` should be raised. """ pass

This exception is raised when an operation requires some feature that is not supported, either because the physical device does not provide it, or Python Microscope has not yet implemented it.

This exception is raised when a shared library or DLL fails to load, typically because the required library is not found or is missing some required symbol. If there is a module that is a straight wrapper to the C library (there should be one on the `microscope._wrappers` package) then this exception can easily be used chained with the exception that originated it like so:: .. code-block:: python try: import microscope._wrappers.libname except Exception as e: raise microscope.LibraryLoadError(e) from e """ pass
