DrX Lissajoux API

DrX Works Lissajoux API

This library provides the python API for a DrX Works Lissajoux device.

Installation

Install the lastest python3 version. Open command line interface (cmd) and type pip3 install --upgrade drx-lissajoux

Usage examples

Normal operation of the API

The example below demonstrates the normal use of this API library.

import logging

from drx_lissajoux.api import Lissajoux, cmd

# Set the debug level, normal operation: "INFO"
logging.basicConfig(level="DEBUG")

HOST = "192.168.1.100"
KEY_FILE = "./key_file.xml"

# constuct the API object
api = Lissajoux(host=HOST, key_file=KEY_FILE)

# retrieve all properties from the lissajoux and store in the cache, call this each time the properties need to be updated
api.get_state()

# Get some values from the cache and print them
print(f"Global interlock: {api.global_interlock}")
print(f"F1 power: {api.F1_power}")
print(f"Frequency: {api.F1_frequency}")
print(f"Cavity temperature: {api.Cavity_temperature}")
print(f"PSU 5V: {api.PSU_5_volt}")

# Set the frequency of the lissajoux to a new value
api.F1_frequency = 2418.0

# Close the connection
api.close()

Available properties

The example below will print all available properties of the Lissajoux that can be used with this library.

from drx_lissajoux.api import Lissajoux

HOST = "192.168.1.100"
KEY_FILE = "./key_file.xml"

api = Lissajoux(host=HOST, key_file=KEY_FILE)

print("\nAvailable properties:")
for prop in api.available_properties:
    print(prop)

Sending custom commands to the Lissajoux

The example below demonstrates how to send custom commands to the Lissajoux. A full list of the available commands for the Lissajoux can be found in the API section in the manual supplied with the device.

from drx_lissajoux.api import Lissajoux, cmd

HOST = "192.168.1.100"
KEY_FILE = "./key_file.xml"

# constuct the API object
api = Lissajoux(host=HOST, key_file=KEY_FILE)

# send a single command to GET the frequency
cmd_freq = api.send_command(cmd("Frq"))
print(f"Frequency: {cmd_freq.value}")

# send a single command to SET the frequency
cmd_freq = api.send_command(cmd("Frq", "=", 2417.0))
print(f"Frequency: {cmd_freq.value}")

# send 5 commands in one message to GET all PSU voltages
response = api.send_command([cmd("V05"), cmd("V55"), cmd("V15"), cmd("Vm5"), cmd("V24")])
for val in response.values():
    print(f"{val.cmd}: {val.value}")

# Close the connection
api.close()
