This is a Python 2.7+ library for the Pico Scope. It uses the provided DLL for actual communications with the instrument. There have been a few examples around, but this one tries to improve on them via:
- Subclass instrument-specific stuff, so can support more families
- Use exceptions to raise errors, and gives you nice english error messages (copied from PS Manual)
- Provide higher-level functions (e.g. just setup timebase, function deals with instrument-specific limitations)
o far INCOMPLETE and tested only with PS6000 scope. May change in the future.
If you will be getting updated code from git, use git clone to put the directory somewhere. Then do the following to generate a link to your git directory:
python setup.py develop
If you want the normal installation (e.g. copies files to Python installation) use:
python setup.py install
Currently the code is changing frequently. Thus you may wish to use the git clone + develop option to keep up with new changes.
