dwfpy 1.0.1

Python Bindings for Digilent WaveForms API

Digilent WaveForms for Python

The dwfpy Python package can be used to access Digilent WaveForms devices, such as the Analog Discovery 2 or the Digital Discovery.

The goal of this package is to provide users with a simple, yet powerful way of controlling Digilent WaveForms devices.

Features

• Pythonic abstraction of Digilent Waveforms devices.
• Low-level API with complete access to the DWF API.
• High-level API that supports one-line configuration statements.

Example

For instance, to configure the Arbitrary Waveform Generator of an Analog Discovery 2, you can write:

import dwfpy as dwf

with dwf.AnalogDiscovery2() as device:
    print('Generating a 1kHz sine wave on WaveGen channel 1...')
    device.analog_output['ch1'].setup('sine', frequency=1e3, amplitude=1, start=True)
    input('Press Enter key to exit.')

Installing dwfpy

You can install the dwfpy package from PyPI via pip:

pip install dwfpy

In order to use the dwfpy package, you need Python 3.6 or higher.

The source code for the dwfpy package can be found at GitHub at https://github.com/mariusgreuel/dwfpy.
