PROTOCOLS > SCPI

📄 IDN

Query a device's identity through the universal *IDN? SCPI command.

📄 MEASURE VOLTAGE

Query an instrument's measured output voltage, such as a DMM or power supply.

📄 SCPI WRITE

Write a SCPI command to a connected bench-top instrument and return the result.

Instrumental

To connect to an Attocube ECC 100 Motion using Instrumental, you can use the following Python script:

from instrumental import instrument, list_instruments

# List all available instruments
instruments = list_instruments()
print(instruments)

# Connect to the Attocube ECC 100 Motion
ecc100 = instrument(instruments[0])

# Get the current position of the linear stage
position = ecc100.get_position()
print("Current position:", position)

# Move the linear stage to a new position
new_position = 100  # Replace with the desired position
ecc100.move_to(new_position, wait=True)

# Get the new position of the linear stage
position = ecc100.get_position()
print("New position:", position)

# Disconnect from the Attocube ECC 100 Motion
ecc100.close()

Note: Make sure to replace instruments[0] with the appropriate instrument name from the list of available instruments.
