Bases: object

How instruments and publishers display in notebooks.

Change these with set_display_options, and read the current values with get_display_options.

style: Literal['html', 'text'] = 'html'#: "html" shows objects as formatted cards. "text" shows their plain repr.

timezone: str = 'UTC'#

"UTC", "local" for the notebook kernel’s time zone, or an IANA name such as "Europe/Berlin".

Type:: Time zone for timestamps

time_format: Literal['iso', 'readable'] = 'iso'#: "iso" shows timestamps as ISO 8601, such as 2026-11-02T16:33:03Z. "readable" uses a space and the time zone’s name, such as 2026-11-02 16:33:03 UTC.

time_precision: Literal['s', 'ms', 'us', 'ns'] = 's'#

"s", "ms", "us" or "ns". Finer digits are cut off, not rounded, and trailing zeros are left out, so "ns" shows each timestamp exactly.

Type:: The finest unit timestamps show

show_link: bool = True#

Whether cards link datasets to their pages in the Nominal app.

Building a link resolves the client’s workspace. The first card for a client that hasn’t resolved it yet makes one request; later cards reuse the result.

collapse_threshold: int = 10#: Sections with more items than this, such as channels, start collapsed.

max_items: int = 50#: The most items a section lists. The section says how many more were left out.
