devices config file

uazure edited this page Mar 14, 2012 · 1 revision

devices.ini (see example in config/) describes device specific options

Here is example:

[k2000]
bus=gpib
id=14
command\init=SYST:PRES\nFORM:ELEM READ
command\read=DATA?`

[k2000] - is the name of the section. It's a shortname of the device (k2000 in this case)

bus=gpib - describes that this particluar device is on gpib bus. GpibDevice object will be created for such kind of devices and will read additional gpib-specific options of the device;

id=14 - id of the device on the gpib bus

command\init= .. - gpib command that must be issued to the device before using it.

command\read=DATA? - gpib command that must be issued to read current data from the device

Some devices can read arbitrary channel with single read command (for example CC34 can read value from any input):

command\read=INPUT? %1

%1 will be replaced with requested channel. See experiment config file for details
