pyvisa-rs
A PyVISA backend powered by rsvisa-rs, a Rust port of
pyvisa-py. Select it from PyVISA with the @rs library spec.
Install
From a clone of this repo, with an activated virtualenv:
cd pyvisa-rs
maturin develop
This builds the Rust extension and installs the pyvisa-rs package
into the current environment. PyVISA discovers it automatically via its
pyvisa_* package scan.
Usage
import pyvisa
rm = pyvisa.ResourceManager("@rs")
print(rm.list_resources())
with rm.open_resource("TCPIP::192.168.1.10::INSTR") as instr:
instr.timeout = 5000
print(instr.query("*IDN?"))
That's it — once "@rs" is passed to ResourceManager, the rest of
the PyVISA API works exactly as it does against any other backend.
Backends supported
The Rust backend mirrors pyvisa-py's transports:
TCPIP::...::INSTR(VXI-11)TCPIP::...::SOCKETTCPIP::...::HISLIPUSB::...::INSTR/USB::...::RAWASRL...::INSTR(serial)
Comparing against pyvisa-py
examples/discovery.py runs list_resources() through both backends
and diffs the results:
uv run --with pyvisa --with pyserial --with pyusb \
--with libusb-package --with zeroconf --with pyvisa-py \
examples/discovery.py
Pass --reinstall-package pyvisa-rs after editing Rust sources — uv's
wheel cache does not invalidate on Rust source changes.
