4 years ago Nothing wrong, it is just that, I have written this library to be Python >3.6 compatible
PEP 3102 -- Keyword-Only Arguments were first supported by Python 3.0
A further issue is that I have not written a driver for this HP 3478A the class in LabToolkit /DigitalMultimeter is a place holder at present
For programming commands you are after 03478-90009.pdf Page 43 to 70 where you can skip the status byte, SRQ and SPOLL until you have need of it The examples are in the document are in BASIC
Where in BASIC:
10 OUTPUT 723; "F1R1"
20 ENTER 723; A$
30 DISP $A
In Python 3
import visa
rm = visa.ResourceManager('')
inst = rm.open_resource('GPIB0::23::INSTR', read_termination='\n', write_termination='\n')
inst.write('F1R1')
a = inst.read()
print(a)
or
import visa
rm = visa.ResourceManager('')
inst = rm.open_resource('GPIB0::23::INSTR', read_termination='\n', write_termination='\n')
a = inst.query('F1R1')
print(a)
In Python 2, if you must use it with its limited support life, you drop the brackets on the print statements
Good luck
Description
I was using this module to interface with HP3478A over GPIB-USB-HS cable.
While running "sudo python setup.py install" the following error showed up.
when i tried to import LabToolkit , it gave these same errors. Have i done something wrong in the installation or can this be solved.
