pyscpidev

A python package to turn your device into an SCPI instrument.

Concept

This package intends to make it easy for developers to turn any device that can run python(3) and has some kind of communication interface, e.g. serial or Ethernet, into an SCPI instrument. SCPI commands look like

MEASure:VOLTage?
CONFigure[:VOLTage][:DC] [{<range>|AUTO|MIN|MAX|DEF}]

Short Term Plan

Get the basic stuff running...

Mid Term Plan

Implement some samples for RaspberryPi.

Long Term Plan

Implement a web application to be able to serve HTTP requests and show some nice GUI.

Installation

I intend to publish this package on PyPi. For now you need to download the code and run the following command from the root directory.

python3 -m pip install -e .

Usage

import scpidev
