Syndesi Python Implementation

Syndesi description is available here

Syndesi is a modular Python framework designed to streamline communication and control of a wide range of electronic instruments and devices. By providing a unified abstraction layer for adapters, protocols, and device drivers, Syndesi enables seamless integration with test equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, UART/USB devices, and more. Its flexible architecture supports both high-level and low-level operations, making it ideal for automation, data acquisition, and custom device interfacing in laboratory, industrial, and research environments.

Installation

The syndesi Python package can be installed through pip

pip install syndesi

The package can also be installed locally by cloning this repository

git clone https://github.com/syndesi-project/Syndesi
cd Syndesi
pip install .

Usage

The user can work with any of the three following layers :

• Adapters : low-level communication (IP, UART, ...)
• Protocols : Encapsulated protocols (Delimited, Modbus, ...)
• Drivers : Device or application specific commands

Adapters

The adapter allows the user to read and write raw data through IP, serial and VISA

from syndesi import IP

my_adapter = IP('192.168.1.12', port=5025)

my_adapter.write(b'ping\n')

my_adapter.read() # -> b'pong'

from syndesi import SerialPort

arduino = SerialPort('/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=115200) # COMx on Windows
arduino.query(b'get_temperature\n') # -> 20.5

Protocols

Protocols encapsulate and format data

from syndesi import IP, Delimited

my_server = Delimited(IP('test.server.local', port=1234))

my_server.query('Hello world\n') # -> Hello world (\n is removed by Delimited)

Drivers

A driver only requires an adapter, the protocol (if used) is instanciated internally

from syndesi_drivers.instruments.mutlimeters.siglent.SDM3055 import SDM3055
from syndesi.adapters import IP

mm = SDM3055(IP("192.168.1.123"))

voltage = mm.measure_dc_voltage()
