Prologix GPIB-to-Ethernet Python wrapper 
Simple wrapper for the Prologix GPIB-to-Ethernet adapter. Also includes a simple device wrapper class.
Currently only supports the CONTROLLER mode of the Prologix
GPIB-to-Ethernet adapter.
Requirements
Make sure you can reach/ping the adapter before you start using this library.
Install
Install with pip
pip install git+git://github.com/nelsond/prologix-gpib-ethernet.gitExample usage
Using the adapter directly
from plx_gpib_ethernet import PrologixGPIBEthernet
gpib = PrologixGPIBEthernet('192.168.1.14')
# open connection to Prologix GPIB-to-Ethernet adapter
gpib.connect()
# select gpib device at address 10
gpib.select(10)
# send a query
gpib.query('*IDN?')
# => 'Stanford_Research_Systems,SR760,s/n41456,ver139\n'
# write without reading
gpib.write('*RST')
# close connection
gpib.close()Using the device wrapper
Also see examples/.
from plx_gpib_ethernet import PrologixGPIBEthernetDevice
class ExampleDevice(PrologixGPIBEthernetDevice):
def start(self):
self.write('STRT')
def get_span(self):
return float( self.query('SPAN?') )
my_device = ExampleDevice(host='192.168.1.14', address=10)
# open connection
my_device.connect()
# run predefined commands
my_device.idn()
# => 'Stanford_Research_Systems,SR760,s/n41456,ver139\n'
my_device.reset()
# run custom commands
my_device.start()
my_device.get_span() # => 0.191
# close connection
mydevice.close()Development
