Cant open Parker connection

[flynnd3]

I'm sorry for asking this here as it's probably not the place for it, but can someone give me some example code to connect to a parker drive as I'm having no luck.
I'm new to programming and would place myself in the low end of the intermediate level, but have a need to connect to a Parker GV6 drive.
running python 3.9 on Windows 10 and have had trouble with this.

I have tried multiple variations to get a connection to the drive, and the one that got the furthest with the following:

from pymeasure.instruments.parker import Parker.GV6 as drive
test = drive("COM2")

after that last command, I get the following.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Users\flynnd3\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages\pymeasure\instruments\parker\parkerGV6.py", line 40, in __init__
super(ParkerGV6, self).__init__(
File "C:\Users\flynnd3\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages\pymeasure\instruments\instrument.py", line 69, in __init__
self.status = self.measurement("*STB?",
AttributeError: can't set attribute

Any help greatly appreciated on this

This is exactly the right place!

Is this the whole error message? It seems incomplete at the end.

It seems you're not using the latest pymeasure version (0.10), could you try upgrading and try again before we proceed, please?

At this point it's clear to me that we need to get this instrument fixed, so I've created issue #623. Let us continue there, please.

Hi bilderbuchi.
The latest edits proposed by msmttchr were not throwing up any errors, though I was not in a position to test further yesterday, I shall be able to report back more info on Monday.
Thanks for all your help so far

[bilderbuchi]

Sure! Are you in a position to submit a pull request with the required changes so we can fix #623? That would be helpful in unloading us maintainers.

[flynnd3]

Not sure how to do a pull request, but I'll look into it Monday and get it done for you.
I'll touch base here if I have any further issues when testing properly
Thanks

[bilderbuchi]

Much appreciated!

Let's continue over in #623, please, to keep further discussion in one place.

I am sorry, I gave you incorrect suggestion, let me have a second chance:
self.connection.write(...
should be:
self.adapter.write(...
Also I doubt that read method is also buggy, I think line:

pymeasure/pymeasure/instruments/parker/parkerGV6.py

Line 56 in 0400c37

return re.sub(r'\r\n\n(>|\?)? ', '', "\n".join(self.readlines()))

should be replaced as follows:

        readlines = b"\n".join(self.connection.readlines()).decode()
        return re.sub(r'\r\n\n(>|\?)? ', '', readlines)

I am sorry, I have no chance to try it, but it should be correct now
