class DeviceCls[source]

Device commands group definition. 8 total commands, 3 Subgroups, 5 group commands

class SubinstStruct[source]

Structure for reading output parameters. Fields:

Cur_Sub_Inst: int: Device number of the addressed channel, as indicated in a VISA resource string for HiSLIP and as returned by *DEV?. Mapping: device number 0 = channel 1 = assigned instrument 1
Sub_Inst_Count: int: Total number of channels into which the instrument is split.

get_count() → int[source]

# SCPI: SYSTem:BASE:DEVice:COUNt
value: int = driver.system.base.device.get_count()

Splits the instrument into channels or assigns all hardware resources to a single channel. Send this command to the channel with the lowest number (device 0 / channel 1 / assigned instrument 1) . To assign/distribute the available hardware resources to the channels, a reboot is performed automatically after you have changed the number of channels.

return:

count: Number of channels The allowed subset of values depends on the number of connected RRHs.

get_msc_count() → int[source]

# SCPI: SYSTem:BASE:DEVice:MSCCount
value: int = driver.system.base.device.get_msc_count()

Returns the maximum number of channels into which the instrument can be split.

return:

max_sc_count: The value 0 indicates that no split is possible.

get_mscont() → int[source]

# SCPI: SYSTem:BASE:DEVice:MSCont
value: int = driver.system.base.device.get_mscont()

No command help available

return:

max_si_count: No help available

get_subinst() → SubinstStruct[source]

# SCPI: SYSTem:BASE:DEVice:SUBinst
value: SubinstStruct = driver.system.base.device.get_subinst()

Queries the device number of the addressed channel and the total number of existing channels.

return:

structure: for return value, see the help for SubinstStruct structure arguments.

reset() → None[source]

# SCPI: SYSTem:BASE:DEVice:RESet
driver.system.base.device.reset()

No command help available

reset_with_opc(opc_timeout_ms: int = -1) → None[source]

# SCPI: SYSTem:BASE:DEVice:RESet
driver.system.base.device.reset_with_opc()

No command help available

Same as reset, but waits for the operation to complete before continuing further. Use the RsCMPX_Base.utilities.opc_timeout_set() to set the timeout value.

param opc_timeout_ms:

Maximum time to wait in milliseconds, valid only for this call.

set_count(count: int) → None[source]

# SCPI: SYSTem:BASE:DEVice:COUNt
driver.system.base.device.set_count(count = 1)

Splits the instrument into channels or assigns all hardware resources to a single channel. Send this command to the channel with the lowest number (device 0 / channel 1 / assigned instrument 1) . To assign/distribute the available hardware resources to the channels, a reboot is performed automatically after you have changed the number of channels.

param count:

Number of channels The allowed subset of values depends on the number of connected RRHs.
