CTS Environmental Chamber Interface

Interface with a CTS Environmental Chamber.

Installation

$ pip install cts-chamber

Supported Features

• Temperature control
• Humidity control
• RS-232 communication

Usage

from cts_chamber import CTSChamber

chamber = CTSChamber(
        serial_device='/dev/ttyUSB0',
)

chamber.set_temperature(30.0)

current, set_point = chamber.get_temperature()
print(f"Current temperture is {current} °C")
print(f"Setpoint is {set_point} °C")

chamber.start()

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 set the hil flag when running poe

$ 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 RS-232 communication has been tested on the device.
