python主线程休眠_python – time.sleep()需要保持QThread响应？

首先,我是Python的新手.我是MatLab的长期用户(工程师,而不是计算机科学家),我开始尝试将Python,NumPy,SciPy等工作到我的工作流程中.所以,请原谅我对这种精彩编程语言的明显无知！

作为我的第一次努力,我决定构建一个应用程序来与我正在开发的传感器进行交互.传感器具有微秒级分辨率(每500微秒512个高能量和512个低能量“像素”),但I / O将被阻塞.由于我将不断轮询设备,我知道线程对于保持GUI响应非常重要(GUI最终还会集成与其他设备的串行通信,并具有对传感器数据进行操作的图像处理子程序).我创建了一个MatPlotLib的线程实例来绘制来自传感器的这些“实时”数据.虽然我已经构建了独立与传感器通信的模块并验证了我知道如何在Python中实现这一点,但我从这里简单地通过生成512个8到12之间的随机数来实现数据的“模拟”以获得低能量对于高能量“像素”,“像素”和在90和110之间的512个随机数.那是线程化的.通过这里的许多例子,我还学会了使用blitting来使用MatPlotLib获得足够快的屏幕更新 – 但问题是,除非我使用time.sleep(0.02)使用线程进程休眠20ms,GUI没有反应.这可以验证,因为来自MatPlotLib的交互式X,Y数据点反馈不起作用,并且“STOP”按钮不能用于中断该过程.比time.sleep(0.02)更长的时间使GUI操作更加平滑,但代价是“数据速率”.任何比time.sleep(0.02)慢的东西都会使GUI无响应.我不确定我明白为什么.我本来打算尝试使用GUIqwt,但我想在放弃MatPlotLib之前会问这里,因为我不确定这是不是问题.我担心让线程休眠20ms将意味着我错过了来自传感器阵列的至少40个潜在数据线(40行* 500us /行= 20ms).

这是当前的代码：

也许我的问题甚至不是MatPlotLib或PyQT4,而是我实现线程的方式.正如我所说,我是新手,并且正在学习.而且,我甚至不确定GUIqwt会解决任何这些问题 – 但我知道我在这里看到很多建议使用比MatPlotLib更快的东西用于GUI中的“实时”绘图.感谢您的帮助！
