- Basic parameter setting, preset group management, setting modification
- Data acquisition, plotting, analysis, and saving up to 100Hz (adjustable)
- PID constant power control
- Parameter scanning (voltage/current)
- Function generator (sine/square/triangle/sawtooth/random)
- Operation sequence (execute operations in sequence)
- Material Design style
A modified QFramelessWindow package is used in the lib folder.
The release provides a packaged .exe file, no need to install the Python environment.
The interface font uses Sarasa UI and has no fallback. Remember to install one from the Microsoft Store.
When PyInstaller packages Qt programs, it will automatically add unnecessary Qt Plugins, causing the binary file to be too large. Carefully modifying the .spec file to exclude unnecessary DLLs and libraries can reduce the size. But further experimentation is needed.
Shout out to:
- @ElluIFX's DP100-PyQt5-GUI project as a helpful reference and source of the DLL for reverse-engineering.
- @vinivius DP100_PS_PC-Sofware for posting firmware, software, relevant DLLs and users manual
- @scottbez1 Scott Bezek's Web controlled DP100 if you like a web controlled device
- Make graph change color depending which parameter (V, A, W, Ohm) is selected
- Extend Power Hold (Constant Power) functionality with a full PID controller no just a simple PI
- Add starting voltage
- Add Kp, Ki, Kd params or Kp, Ti, Td (both or whichever makes more sense to use)
- Perhaps add PID auto tune
- Consider other controller types
- Explore a I-V (Current-Voltage) curve tracer
- Sweep over voltage range and record currents
- Sweep over current range and record voltages
- Port all this to Qt6
- Far future: Add support for multiple DP100's
