WeeLab 0.1.1

Unified control library for lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, lasers, etc.)

Weeroc Lab Devices Package

This is an attempt to make a single python package containing all the tools for controlling the lab equipment as simply as possible.

Install

PyPI

To install the package use pip install weelab

For developer use

git clone http://192.168.2.117/vyeroshenko/labpack.git
cd labpack
pip install -e .

Currently available devices

• CAEN A7585 SiPM power supply (device tested)

  from WeeLab import SerialConnection, CAEN_A7585
  caen = CAEN_A7585(
      conn=SerialConnection(port="COM6", baudrate=115200))
  caen.set_voltage(30)  # Set voltage to 30V
  caen.wait_setpoint_reached()  # Wait until the setpoint is reached
  caen.get_IV()  # Get the current and voltage values
  

• Lecroy WaveRunner (device tested)

  from WeeLab import Vxi11Connection, LeCroyWaveRunner
  lecroy = LeCroyWaveRunner(conn=Vxi11Connection(ip="192.168.2.21"))
  p1_mean = lecroy.getMeasure(1, "MEAN") # Returns mean value of P1 measurement 
  lecroy.clear_sweeps() # Clear sweeps
  

• NKT Pilas Laser (device tested)

  from WeeLab import SerialConnection, NktPilasLaser
  laser = NktPilasLaser(
      conn=SerialConnection(port="COM6", baudrate=19200))
  laser.set_tune(500) # Sets tune 50%
  laser.set_frequency(20_000_00) # Sets frequency 20 MHz
  laser.enable() # Enables radiation
  

• Tektronix AWG generator (test TODO)

  from WeeLab import VisaConnection, Tektronix_AFG3252
  afg = Tektronix_AFG3252(
      conn=VisaConnection("USB0::0x0699::0x0345::C010630::INSTR"))
  afg.do_set_voltage_ch1(5) # Sets voltage on ch1 to 5 V
  afg.set_frequency_ch1(10_000) # Sets frequency 10 kHz
  afg.do_set_status_ch1("on") # Enables generation in ch1
  

• WeeMove translation stage (test TODO)

  from WeeLab import SerialConnection, Stage
  stage = Stage(
      conn=SerialConnection(port="COM4", baudrate=9600))
  stage.move(10, 20) # Moves to x=10cm, y=20cm
  stage.wait_arrived() # Waits until the stage is no longer moving
  stage.ask_position() # Prints current position
