cg635-clock-generator 1.1.0

Interface with a Stanford Research Systems CG635 Synthesized Clock Generator

SRS-CG635 Synthesized Clock Generator Interface

Interface with a Stanford Research Systems CG635 Synthesized Clock Generator.

Installation

$ pip install cg635-clock-generator

Supported Features

• Frequency control
• Phase control
• CMOS output levels and standards control
• Q/*Q outputs levels and standards control
• R232 communication

Usage

from cg635_clock_generator import CG635ClockGenerator, CG635Communication

clock_generator = CG635ClockGenerator(
        communication_type=CG635Communication.RS232,
        serial_device='/dev/ttyUSB0',
)

print(clock_generator.get_identification())

FREQ = 10e6
PHASE = 90.0

clock_generator.set_frequency(FREQ)

frequency = clock_generator.get_frequency()
print(f"Frequency is {frequency} Hz")

clock_generator.set_phase(PHASE)

phase = clock_generator.get_phase()
print(f"Phase is {phase} degrees")

Running tests on hardware

During normal development and for the CI the unit test suite is executed on a mock device using pyvisa-mock. It is also possible to run tests on real hardware connected to your system. Just call:

$ uv run poe test_hil

By default it will try to connect to /dev/ttyUSB0, but you can specify a different device using the --hil_serial_device option:

$ uv run poe test_hil --hil_serial_device /dev/ttyUSB1

Status

Currently only the RS232 communication has been tested on the device.
