Sampler

The sampler concerts the sampling of observables.

Example:

local sampler = require("halmd.observables.sampler")
sampler:sample()
sampler:run(1000)

halmd.observables.sampler.sample()

Sample current state.

halmd.observables.sampler.run(steps)

Run simulation for given number of steps.

This method invokes halmd.mdsim.core.mdstep().

halmd.observables.sampler.on_prepare(slot, interval, start)

Connect slot to signal emitted just before sampling current state. slot() will be executed every interval timesteps with the first time being executed at timestep start. start must be greater or equal to zero.

halmd.observables.sampler.on_sample(slot, interval, start)

Connect slot to signal emitted to sample current state. slot() will be executed every interval timesteps with the first time being executed at timestep start. start must be greater or equal to zero.

Returns:signal connection

halmd.observables.sampler.on_start(slot)

Connect slot to signal emitted before starting simulation run.

Returns:signal connection

halmd.observables.sampler.on_finish(slot)

Connect slot to signal emitted after finishing simulation run.

Returns:signal connection
