This repository supplies some abstract base classes for various device families that are used as basis for specific implementations. Those base classes provide the frontend used by experimental scripts - the implementations are then done in a device specific way by other packages.
This package emerged from re-implementing different interfaces for different devices from time to time to provide some kind of common base structure for different devices.
The base classes just implement basic parameter validation and provide a calling convention. Changes should never break existing libraries.
Currently implemented base classes:
- Power supplies
- KA3005PSerial for Korad KA3005P power supplies via serial interface
- pydp832 for Rigol DP832 power supplies via Ethernet
- Oscilloscopes
- Rigol MSO5000 for Rigol MSO5000 oscilloscopes
- Function generators / Arbitrary waveform generators
- FY6900 for FE FY6900
- Rigol DG832 (work in progress)
- Siglent SSG3021X sinewave 9 kHz - 2.1 GHz generator (work in progress)
- Pressure gauges
- PYBPG400 for the RS232C interface of the INFICON BPG400 pressure gauge
- Vector network analyzers
- NanoVNA v2 (work in progress)
- Scanning Electron Microscopes
- XL30 ESEM (work in progress)
- General purpose I/O devices
- SPI bus
