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 RS232 communication has been tested on the device.
