nanonis-tramea 1.0.6

Python package for controlling Nanonis Tramea software through python

Python Interface Package for Nanonis

Official python package for the Nanonis TRAMEA Controller software.

Usage

This package allows users of the Nanonis TRAMEA Controller software to use and control said software through python commands.

How to use

Importing

import nanonis_tramea

Initializing Connection through the socket module

import socket

connection = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

connection.connect((IP_ADRESS_HERE, PORT_HERE))

nanonisInstance = nanonis_spm.Nanonis(connection)

NOTE : THE PORT HAS TO BE AN INTEGER AND THE IP ADRESS A STRING

Enabling Debug Console Output

The function "returnDebugInfo()" takes an integer as an argument. This integer should be either 1 = on, or 0 = off. This option is off by default.

Enable by running: nanonisInstance.returnDebugInfo(1)

Examples

There is a collection of examples installed with the package.

The description of all the available functions can be found in the TCP Protocol Document, and hovering on the function depending on the used IDE.

IMPORTANT: The TCP Interface requires every argument to be of certain size (see documentation). This is why the Numpy dependency is required, since it enables the specification of variable sizes.

Change Log

1.0.6

Fixed the programmatic control of the Oscilloscope High Resolution graph, where some functions now include an input for channel selection to support the 4-channel version of this graph.

1.0.5

Fixed some missing variable names in the function declaration of some MCVA functions. Removed a check in the ParseError function which set a different error string offset for functions returning exactly 8 bytes.

1.0.4

Fixed the indentation of two Script functions (Script.Open and Script.LUTOpen) which triggered an error when trying to use the class. Changed the behavior of the returnDebugInfo function so that nothing is printed out if there is no error.

1.0.3

Added the function Util.VersionGet to get the software version, the MCVA5 preamplifier functions, and the V5e Generic PI Controller functions.
