SOURCE_TYPES = {'DC': 'DC Voltage (V)/Current (A)'}
TIMEOUT = 10000

Serial link timeout (ms).

measure(channel)

Measure output voltage, current.

Parameters:
  • channel – output to be measured.

  • no_lock – override acquire_lock (e.g. if lock already taken by function that measure-call is nested within).

Returns:

tuple (voltage, current).

monitor_step(channel)

Helper function for monitoring/logging especially for dirigent.

off(channel, **kwargs)

Turn off output.

Parameters:
  • channel – output to be turned off.

  • no_lock – override acquire_lock (e.g. if lock already taken by function that off-call is nested within).

  • attempts – how many retries to give set command.

Returns:

read-back value.

on(channel)

Turn on output. For some reason needs an explicit check/retry loop since this sometimes fails?

Parameters:
  • channel – output to be turned on.

  • no_lock – override acquire_lock (e.g. if lock already taken by function that on-call is nested within).

Returns:

read-back value.

publish(client, line, channel='ALL')

Publish data line (from Monitoring) to MQTT.

TODO: don’t reparse line here; instead pass/access raw data?

Parameters:
  • client – MQTTClient object to publish with.

  • line – MonitoringLogger line to publish.

  • channel – which channel the data has been measured for. May be ‘ALL’.

query_channel(setting, channel, **kwargs)

Query setting on instrument for output channel.

Parameters:
  • setting – key in class dictionary SETTINGS.

  • channel – output to set this setting on.

  • no_lock – override acquire_lock (e.g. if lock already taken by function that query_channel-call is nested within).

  • attempts – how many retries to give set command.

Returns:

data returned by device for given query.

set_channel(setting, channel, *value, **kwargs)

Set setting on instrument to value for output channel, and read-back using equivalent query().

Parameters:
  • setting – key in class dictionary SETTINGS.

  • channel – channel to set this setting on.

  • value – target value for setting.

  • no_lock – override acquire_lock (e.g. if lock already taken by function that set_channel-call is nested within).

  • attempts – how many retries to give set command.

Returns:

read-back value if query() available, else whether number of bytes written during set() meets expectation

status(channel, **kwargs)

Check status of output.

Parameters:
  • channel – output to be turned on.

  • no_lock – override acquire_lock (e.g. if lock already taken by function that status-call is nested within).

  • attempts – how many retries to give set command.

Returns:

status of output.

  • channel – output to perform sweep on.

  • target_value – value of setting to sweep to (from current).

  • delay – delay between sweep steps (in seconds)

  • step_size – step size between sweep steps

  • n_steps – number of steps to perform (alternative to step_size - specify one but not both)

  • set_function – function to use for set() call. Defaults to self.set

  • set_args – additional keyword arguments to pass to set()

  • measure – whether to measure at each step of sweep.

  • measure_function – function to use for measure() call. Defaults to self.measure

  • measure_args – additional keyword arguments to pass to measure()

  • query_args – additional keyword arguments to pass to query() at each step.

  • power_cycle_each_step – set callback function to _power_cycle with correct arguments.

  • execute_each_step – accepts a callback function (no arguments) to be executed at each step of the sweep.

Returns:

final parameter value[, measure data]

sweep_print_header(measured_unit=None)

Returns the header for print-outs, when doing a sweep.

Helper function of instrument.sweep() @param: measured_unit: Type of measurement that is performed. If ‘None’, the measurement is only output Voltage and output Current.

validate_channel(channel, raise_exception=True)

Check if an output exists on this device.

Parameters:

channel – Channel number to validate as an output.
