PyPi v1.8.0

• BaseDevice.TelnetServerDevice.readline() now catches EOFError and ConnectionResetError when the telnet connection was closed unexpectedly (by the user or OS).

PyPi v1.7.3

• OptLaser TEC controller: Fixed error "fixedWidth is an unknown keyword parameter" in OptLaser_TEC_controller_qdev.py.

PyPi v1.7.2

• OptLaser TEC controller: Minor changes on the demos.
• OptLaser TEC controller: Fixed broken link to OptLaser manual.
• OptLaser TEC controller: Notify user of "Connection lost".

PyPi v1.7.0

• Added support for OptLaser thermoelectric cooler (TEC) controller TEC-8A-24V-PID-HC-RS232.

PyPi v1.6.0

1.6.0 (2026-05-13)

• Added class BaseDevice.TelnetServerDevice, useful for e.g. communicating with an ESP32 microcontroller over telnet.

1.5.2 (2025-11-10)

• Fixed communication error in Bronkhorst_MFC_protocol_RS232.py where the send setpoint value was incorrectly decoded into lower case hex, instead of higher case hex. Fixed.

PyPi v1.5.1

• Device Keysight_3497xA: Made hard-coded VISA_TIMEOUT an input argument instead

PyPi v1.5.0

• Support for Numpy 2.0
• Restore support for Python 3.6. Was removed by mistake. Version 1.4.0 and this version do support Python 3.6 actually, but only in combination with PyQt5. PySide2 will not work because the wrapper library qtpy still expects app.exec_() instead of app.exec(). That got fixed in the qtpy version for Python >= 3.7.

PyPi v1.4.0

Major clean-up and streamlining:

• Using qtpy library instead of my own Qt5/6 mechanism
• Changed all string formatting to f-strings
• Extended type hinting and checking
• Made demos uniform and passing qdev arguments to MainWindow now
• Individual source files now follow the PyPi package version
• Resolved nearly all Pylint / Pylance warnings
• Removed Python 3.6 support

PyPi v1.3.0

• Added method BaseDevice.SerialDevice.query_bytes()
• Fixed type hints in BaseDevice.SerialDevice

PyPi v1.2.0

• Added support for PyQt5, PyQt6, PySide2 and PySide6
