Open-LISA-SDK 1.1.0

SDK for Laboratory Instrument Station Adapter

Open LISA SDK

This SDK provides an interface to interact with the Open LISA Server. The server must be integrated with the instruments of interest and running in a known Serial port (RS233 connections) in order to be able to connect via this SDK from the client side. Alternatively, you can use TCP protocol for communication being aware that this system does not provide authentication or encryption under this protocol.

Installation

pip install open-lisa-sdk

Getting started

After installation and having configured the server with the instruments, you are ready create your experience scripts with Open LISA SDK in a few lines of code. For example:

1. Connect with the server

import Open_LISA_SDK

sdk = Open_LISA_SDK.SDK()
sdk.connect_through_RS232(port="COM3")

2. Get the instruments

instruments = sdk.get_instruments()
for instrument in instruments:
    print("instrument {} {}".format(instrument["brand"], instrument["model"]))

3. Get instrument commands and send invocations to your instruments

instruments = sdk.get_instruments()
first_instrument = instruments[0]
command_execution_result = sdk.send_command(instrument_id=first_instrument["id"], command_invocation="set_channel_volts 1 5.0")
print(command_execution_result)

4. After finishing, remember to disconnect

sdk.disconnect()
