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

    Colour games can appear simple, but understanding their rules is still important before playing. Readers exploring the BDG Win colour game should review the available instructions, learn how rounds operate, and remember that results cannot be reliably guaranteed through guesses.

Running Python code in a LaTeX document

Image
I am currently working on a LaTeX document in which the content is still in a very fluid phase and  the figures change often. I usually have a Python script that prepares the figures and saves them as PDFs. To iterate faster, I wanted to insert Python code directly into LaTeX, executing the code when the document is compiled. Googling around I found that I was not the first one to want this. There is this LaTeX package with this github repo . The package provides a new environment ( python ) within which you can write arbitrary Python code. The code is executed when the document is compiled and the output is inserted into the document. I try it and it worked like a charm. It was even printing the traceback in red when there was an error in the script. You can do things like this: \documentclass[a4paper]{book} \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx} \usepackage{python} \begin{document} A simple example: \begin{python} print(2+3) \end{python} \vspace{1cm} Generating and displaying...

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...
