Instrument Automation Library; A library of (mostly) standalone instrument drivers

A library of (mostly) standalone instrument drivers, mostly over GPIB, along with GPIB drivers for some GPIB interfaces.

Interfaces:

• UG01 USB to GPIB Controller by LQ Electronics Corp
• GPIB-ETHERNET (GPIB-LAN) Controller by Prologix LLC

Instruments:

• Rigol DG4000 series arbitrary waveform generators (DG4202, DG4162, DG4102, DG4062)
• Fluke 8840A multimeter
• GW Instek PSM-Series DC Supply (PSM-2010, PSM-3004, PSM-6003)
• HP (now Agilent now Keysight) 34401A
• HP (now Agilent now Keysight) 53131A (limited support)
• Keithley (now Tektronix) 7001 (Just opening and closing switches)
• Advantest R6581T

Example pyvisa:

import pyvisa

import ialib.instruments.hp34401a as hp34401a

rm = pyvisa.ResourceManager()
ins_interface = rm.open_resource("GPIB0::26::INSTR")

ins = hp34401a.HP34401A(ins_interface)
ins.reset()
ins.mode = hp34401a.HP34401AFunction.VDC
print(f"{ins.data=}")

Example Prologix GPIB-ETHERNET:

from ialib.interfaces.plx_gpib_ethernet import PlxGPIBEthDevice, plx_get_first
import ialib.instruments.hp34401a as hp34401a

ins = hp34401a.HP34401A(
    PlxGPIBEthDevice(
        host=plx_get_first(), address=11  # Find the first Prologix adaptor
    )
)
ins.reset()
ins.mode = hp34401a.HP34401AFunction.VDC
print(f"{ins.data=}")
