Drivers: structure of the package and drivers for DC power source

[MatthieuDartiailh]

So far only the "standard" for DC power source is implemented and used for:

• Itest
  • BE2101: single output precision voltage source
  • BE2141: four outputs precision voltage source
• Yokogawa:
  • GS200
  • 7651 (we use the prefix Model since 7651 is not a valid class identifier in Python)
• Keysight/Agilent/HP:
  • E3631A (triple output DC power source +6/+25/-25 V, used in the lab to power amplifiers)
  • E3633A, E3634A (single outputs, not present in te lab and hence not tested).

@Exopy/owners I would appreciate if you can give this a look, hopefully the documentation (http://i3py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest) should be enough to understand the magic happening behind the scene. I would appreciate to get as much feedback as possible since this is the future for drivers. I will work on implementing a generic task giving access to any feature/action of such a driver which will reduce the burden of developing super specific task for just setting a parameter.

A few quick documentation questions: section 1.5 (subsystems) "By default, a subsystem is a subclass of || " ?

section 4.1.1 " first class of the mro" ?

[MatthieuDartiailh]

Just pushed a documentation fix. The quick answer is |SubSystem| for the first and mro: Method resolution order for the second (hence we use the left most class in the class declaration that defines a particular subsystem/channel).

[MatthieuDartiailh]

The bilt is complete and tested (just like the others, as far as the test scripts do their job at least). You need to look at the base class of the rack which declares the modules it can drive.

FYI there's a pytest notice in the CI log:

pytest-catchlog plugin has been merged into the core, please remove it from your requirements.

[MatthieuDartiailh]

Thanks @bilderbuchi I fixed that in other repos but I forgot this one.

@lcontami @galactikvoyager feel free to merge when you have no more questions.
