PyVISA-sim. Test your PyVISA applications without connected instruments

I have just released PyVISA-sim 0.1. PyVISA-sim is a backend for PyVISA. It allows you to simulate devices and therefore test your applications without having real instruments connected.

While there still a lot of features to add, this early release already allows you to:
- play around with a simulated device.
- write your own simulated device in YAML files. 
- simulated devices can include commands and properties which are automatically generated from the YAML file.
- Properties can have some basic validation rules.

Install it using:

    pip install -U pyvisa-sim

Communicating with instruments using PyVISA but without NI-VISA

PyVISA is a Python frontend for the VISA library that enables controlling all kinds of measurement equipment through GPIB, RS232, USB and Ethernet among others interfaces. Starting form version 1.6 , PyVISA allows to use different backends. The cool thing is that your code remains the same, except the line in which you instantiate the resource manager (which tells which backend to use). A few days ago I blogged about one of such alternative backends called PyVISA-sim which allows your to mock the presence of instruments (in cased that you missed the announcement, is here ). Today I am making public a second backend.   Until now, talking to instruments via PyVISA required that you had National Instruments VISA library installed in your system. This works most of the time, for most people. But NI-VISA is a proprietary library that only works on certain systems. That is when PyVISA-py jumps in. It is an implementation of message based communication (Serial/USB/Ethernet) using Pyt

Moving to Lantz

Image
Lantz is a Python automation and instrumentation toolkit that allows you to control instruments in a clean and efficient manner writing pure Python code. Since I released Lantz a few weeks ago, I have received a lot of positive e-mails about the project. Most of them can be summarized as: It looks very nice! I love Python and I have been looking for a Pythonic way to do instrumentation! It is encouraging to receive such positive comments and also confirms that Lantz is in the right path: Not a Domain-specific language, not a do-it-my-way framework, but a complete, coherent and concise set of classes and functions for instrumentation in Python. Lantz provides base classes and functions decorators to help you write your drivers as shown in the figure (thanks Pablo Jais!). Y ou can find more details in the documentation's overview . Inertia is what stopping many to start using Lantz. For most of us, instrumentation is the means to an end. We need to measure, do experiment
