A package for controlling Jena PiezoSystem NV40 3CLE amplifier vi NIDAQMX.
Project description
Control of PiezoSystemJena NV40/3CLE via NI DAQmx
Control of the Jena's piezo accuators via their multi-channel amplifier. https://www.piezosystem.com/products/amplifiers/multi-channel/40ma-multi-channel-amplifiers/
Uses NIDAQ device to read and write analog voltages between 0 and 10 to three input and output voltage channels connected to a Jena NV40/3CLE amplifier. Each input/output channel controls one of three axis (x, y, or z).
When using this software, one must at least provide three analog channels on the NIDAQ that are connected to the NV40/3CLE amplifier that control (write) the location of the piezo stage.
This program does not need to read voltages from the amplifier. If no read channels are provided, this program will report the last written values when reporting the current location.
This controller does NOT lock out usage of analog input and output channels on the NI-DAQ card. It writes or reads to the analog channels and then releases the resource. This would allow external programs to access those channels, so long as the access is not simultaneous.
Installation
Requirements
This python package depends upon National Instruments driver and NI DAQ card that contains three analog input and output channels.
You must first install the NI DAQmx driver. http://www.ni.com/downloads/.
PIP should install the rest of the dependencies.
Local Installation
pip install nipiezojenapy
Usage
GUI Application
From the shell prompt, launch
> qt3piezo
For help on hardware configuration use the help option (qt3piezo -h
)
Programmatically
import nipiezojenapy
pcon = nipiezojenapy.PiezoControl(device_name = 'Dev1',
write_channels = ['ao0','ao1','ao2'],
read_channels = ['ai0','ai1','ai2'])
Read Position
print(pcon.get_current_position())
[39.953595487425225, 40.047631567251806, 39.9510191567554]
Go To Position
pcon.go_to_position(x = 20, y = 20, z = 20)
pcon.get_current_position()
[19.935887437291537, 19.94876864898489, 19.872769502734947]
Note that each axis can be set independently. That is, one may move along a single axis without specifying the other axis values.
pcon.go_to_position(z = 40)
pcon.get_current_position()
