arcdico 1.0.0

Python module to interact with the ArC Instruments Digital Control Module

ArC Digital Control Module

This is a Python wrapper for the ArC Digital Control (ArC DiCo) serial protocol.

Usage

Usage of the library is fairly straightforward. You only to know the serial port where the DiCo is connected to.

from arcdico import DiCo

dico = DiCo('/dev/ttyUSB0')

# The DiCo will disable all outputs when initially
# powered on but you can do that programmatically by
# using the `reset` function.
dico.reset()

# connect specified pins to the DAC output
dico.set_state(pins=[1, 8, 22])

# set output voltage at 3.50 V
dico.set_state(voltage=3.50)

# or do both
dico.set_state(pins=[1, 8], voltage=2.25)
