Python VISA bindings for GPIB, RS232, TCPIP and USB instruments
Project description
PyVISA
A Python package for support of the “Virtual Instrument SoftwareArchitecture” (VISA), in order to control measurement devices andtest equipment via GPIB, RS232, Ethernet or USB.
Description
From transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMaskedLM tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.frompretrained('bert-base-multilingual-cased') model = AutoModelForMaskedLM. Job interview questions and sample answers list, tips, guide and advice. Helps you prepare job interviews and practice interview skills and techniques.
The programming of measurement instruments can be real pain. There are manydifferent protocols, sent over many different interfaces and bus systems(GPIB, RS232, USB). For every programming language you want to use, you have tofind libraries that support both your device and its bus system.
In order to ease this unfortunate situation, the Virtual Instrument SoftwareArchitecture (VISA) specification was defined in the middle of the 90’. TodayVISA is implemented on all significant operating systems. A couple of vendorsoffer VISA libraries, partly with free download. These libraries work togetherwith arbitrary peripheral devices, although they may be limited to certaininterface devices, such as the vendor’s GPIB card.
The VISA specification has explicit bindings to Visual Basic, C, and G(LabVIEW’s graphical language). Python can be used to call functions from aVISA shared library (.dll, .so, .dylib) allowing to directly leverage thestandard implementations. In addition, Python can be used to directly accessmost bus systems used by instruments which is why one can envision to implementthe VISA standard directly in Python (see the PyVISA-Py project for moredetails). PyVISA is both a Python wrapper for VISA shared libraries butcan also serve as a front-end for other VISA implementation such asPyVISA-Py.
VISA and Python
Python has a couple of features that make it very interesting for measurementcontrolling:
- Python is an easy-to-learn scripting language with short development cycles.
- It represents a high abstraction level [2], which perfectly blends with theabstraction level of measurement programs.
- It has a very rich set of native libraries, including numerical and plottingmodules for data analysis and visualisation.
- A large set of books (in many languages) and on-line publications isavailable.
Requirements
- Python (tested with 3.6+)
- VISA (tested with NI-VISA 17.5, Win7, from www.ni.com/visa and Keysight-VISA )
Installation
Using pip:

PyVISA Changelog
Ivi Foundation Driver Download For Windows 1000
1.11.3 (07-11-2020)
1.11.2 was skipped due to an issue in the MANIFEST file.
- fix MANIFEST to exclude built docs
- fix minor typos in deprecation warning for GPIB resources
- generate some test files on the fly to avoid issue when building conda packages
- add official Python 3.9 support
1.11.1 (30-09-2020)
- deprecate methods that were mistakenly added to GPIB::INSTR resources PR #560
- fix the listing of available backends (Also not that we now return the backendname as can be used to create a ResourceManger) PR #545
- allow a None value for the board value of a ResourceInfo PR #547This allows for funky resource name such ASRL/dev/tty0::INSTR which are commonin pyvisa-py and avoid returning a completely generic resource in those cases.
1.11 (16-09-2020)
PyVISA 1.11 introduces a small backward incompatibility in the handling ofthe arguments to handlers for VISA events. The old system was tightly linked tothe ctwrapper and not really usable as it was. As a consequence we passthe contents of the ctypes objects to the handler rather than the bare ctypesobject (with the exception of the user handle for which there is no way to doit properly). This is a breaking change and if your code is affected you can revertto the old behavior by setting the environment variable PYVISA_WRAP_HANDLER=0 orset ctwrapper.WRAP_HANDLER to False but please consider updating to the newbehavior.
PyVISA 1.11 also removes deprecated functions and attributes that were supposedto be removed in 1.10:
- ask: use query instead
- ask_delay: use query_delay
- ask_for_values: use either query_ascii_values or query_binary_values as relevant
- write_values: use either write_ascii_values or write_binary_values as relevant
- read_values: use either read_ascii_values or read_binary_values as relevant
- query_values: use either query_ascii_values or query_binary_values as relevant
- values_format: has no equivalent simply pass the proper argument to eitherthe ascii or binary variant of the function (read_xxxx_values, write_xxxx_values,query_xxxx_values)
- Add support for “s” and “p” binary format which can be used to retrieve binary filesfrom instruments. PR #536
- Convert the testsuite to use pytest PR #531This is motivated by the possibility to re-use it in PyVISA-py. However sinceunittest use inheritance to detect tests, doing so would have been clunky, pytestname base detection works better for that purpose.
- Setup Azure pipelines for self-hosted runner using Keysight tools to run anextended set of tests. PR #531
- Introduce an enumeration for special VISA timeout values PR #531
- Provide VisaLibraryBase.handle_return_value to ease the handling of return valuesin alternative backends PR #525
- Transition to using dataclasses for resource name PR #525This is NOT fully backward compatible if you used to index the resource name
- Allow alternative backends to use an _ instead of a - in their name PR #525
- Add Event class to provide a nice interface to VISA events PR #511
- Add wrap_handler to provide a nicer way to write event handler PR #511
- Add wrapper classes for events PR #511
- Add typing to the entire codebase PR #511

- Convert docstrings to use numpy formatting PR #511
- Explicitly set attributes on resources to make the code more readable PR #511
- Make MessageBasedResource.read_bytes break on message end whenbreak_on_termchar is True PR #511
- Add support for dll_extra_paths in .pyvisarc to provide a way to specify pathsin which to look for dll on Windows and Python >= 3.8 PR #509
- Drop Python 2 support PR #486
- Limit support to Python 3.6+ PR #486
- Improve the test suite and introduce tests relying on Keysight Virtualinstrument software PR #486
- Add badges to the README PR #486
- Improve ResourceManager.list_opened_resource to list only open resources.Previously all resources created and not yet garbage collected were listed. PR #486
- Always normalize resource names PR #486
- Treat floating points number as double when parsing ASCII data blocks PR #486
- Allow bound methods as handler function (the use of is in tests prevented it) PR #486
- Deprecate some unused functions found in the util.py module PR #486
- Warn or raise if the beginning of a binary block is not found among the first characters.The default value is 25. PR #486
- Make the library less biased towards National Instrument by referring to IVIwhere relevant. In particular rename the @ni backend to @ivi PR #456

1.9.1 (2018-08-13)
- Add expect_termination argument to read_binary_values andquery_binary_values. This allows to retain the behavior of these methods frompyvisa 1.8, where the length of the block of values that is being read didnot include the very final read termination. For instruments omitting thetermination character when transferring binary data, visa library raises atimeout exception in case pyvisa 1.9.0 is used. Note that the behavior is notreverted completely to its pyvisa 1.8 state because for other instruments(for example, Keysight PNA on Ethernet) the termination character is indeedadded at the end of the message, and is not counted in the declared length inthe header. Prior to 1.9, if the last character of the binary block is alsothe termination character, the actual termination could be missed, whichleads to hard to debug bugs hence the choice to preserve 1.9 behavior bydefault. PR #349
