RD6006 Python module

RIDEN RD6006 Python module

This module allows to control a RD6006 via the USB interface using Python.

As with previous models, the RD6006 uses the Modbus protocol over serial, the registers however are different than the DPS models. The registers are described in the registers.md file.

Features

It allows to control the following options :

• Output voltage and current
• Protection voltage and current
• Backlight
• Enable status

Installation

$ python setup.py install --user

Usage

In [1]: from rd6006 import RD6006
