REL1100 Error Handler Callback Description Datatype

[jnbastoky]

The description data type in the error handler for the REL110 will return different data types at different times. Sometimes I get a str. Other times it's bytes. It seems to alternate between the two

Here's the callback handler. I'm printing the data type of the description callback parameter to console. The API documentation says this should be a str. I don't care which, but it would be nice for it to be the same every call.

Code: Select all

def _error(self, channel, code, description):
        self.model.error_code = ErrorCode.getName(code)
        self.model.error_description = str(description)
        print(f'{self} Error!')
        print(f'    Code: {self.model.error_code}')
        print(f'    Description: {self.model.error_description} ({type(description)})')

Console

Code: Select all

    Description: b'Device not Attached' (<class 'bytes'>)

I'll have a look at how this could be happening.
