dataq-instruments / python Goto Github PK

It might be worth mentioning somewhere that the slist command actually needs to be passed a decimal number and not hex. Although the Python slist variable contains hexadecimals, these are implicitly converted to decimal:

In [12]: slist = [0x0A00, 0x0B01, 0x1702, 0x1303, 0x0709, 0x000A, 0x0008, ]

In [13]: slist
Out[13]: [2560, 2817, 5890, 4867, 1801, 10, 8]

The same is true if these values are passed through str(), which they are in config_scn_lst:

In [15]: str(0x0A00)
Out[15]: '2560'

Using decimals for the config argument of slist is also consistent with the protocol examples.

I wasn't sure where else to put this to make you aware...

I have created a much more usable python interface for this instrument. See the github page for details.

I'm not sure if you wish to use that in your sample repository or not, but it is out there now.
