+ -----------------------------------
+ GETTING INPUTS:
+ -----------------------------------
+ If needed, the following methods are available:
+
+ test.getPath() string, path of this test file
+ test.getName() string, name of this test
+ test.getDeviceName() string, device for which the test must run (typically it is the beginning of a process variable name)
+ test.getPlotName() string, name to be given to the plot when using setPlotName(). Example: scan.setPlotName(test.getPlotName())
+ -----------------------------------
+ GETTING TEST PARAMETERS:
+ -----------------------------------
+ if you need to get parameters for the test, use:
+
+ myParamValue = test.getParam('myParamName')
+
+ the calls to getParam are added to the code automatically, one per parameter, when creating the new test.
+ NOTE: Casting may be necessary.
+ See the test config for the list of parameters specific to the test.
+ -----------------------------------
+ SETTING OUTPUTS:
+ -----------------------------------
+ When the test has ended (error or success), this method must be called in order to return to pshell:
+
+ test.sendFeedback(ret,success)
+
+ ret string, a text summarizing the result of the test.
+ success bool, True = test successful. False = test failed.
+ -----------------------------------
+ LOG INFO:
+ -----------------------------------
+ when some information must be shown on the log on pshell, use the following line:
+ test.log('text to log')
+ """
