PyADScopeControl (Analog Discovery Scopes) is a Python project developed to control Digilent's Analog Discovery Essentials USB oscilloscopes. The following models are fully supported, however only the Analog Discovery 2 has been tested for use:
- Analog Discovery 2 (Tested)
- Analog Discovery 3 (Not Tested)
- Analog Discovery Studio (Not Tested)
- Digital Discovery (Not Tested)
pip install PyADScopeControlpip install git+https://github.com/agentsmith29/PyADScopeControl.gitClone the repository:
https://github.com/agentsmith29/PyADScopeControl.gitInstall dependencies:
# Create a virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
# Activate the virtual environment on Windows and GitBash
. .venv/bin/activate
# Activate the virtual environment on Windows and cmd
# .venv\Scripts\activate
# Activate the virtual environment on Linux/MacOS
# source .venv/bin/activate
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txtRun the main script:
If you just want to run the script directly, you can use the following command:
python examples/main.pyIf you want to use the package in your own code, you can import the package and use it as follows: Package documentation for the config can be found here (confPy6).
from PyADScopeControl import ADScopeControl
# The config class, that stores the configuration for the scope
# using the confPy6 package (https://github.com/agentsmith29/confPy6).
conf = CaptDevice.Config()
# Enable the log
conf.internal_log_enabled = False
# --- Create the model, controller, and view. ---
# Pass the config to the model.
model = CaptDevice.Model(conf)
# Pass the model and None to the controller.
# The second argument start_capture_flag (here set to None) is a multiprocessing.Value that
# triggers the scope.
# This can be used to create a shared value between processes (e.g. a trigger by another process)
controller = CaptDevice.Controller(
model,
None # start_capture_flag: multiprocessing.Value, triggers the scope
)
# Create the view
window = CaptDevice.View(model, controller)
# Show the window
window.show()An example how to use this package in conjunction with another package can be found in the PySacherECLControl repository.
Use the graphical interface to adjust laser parameters, monitor data, and control the laser. Refer to the user manual or documentation for detailed instructions on specific operations and functionalities.
