Python Programming Made Easy with Spectrum Instrumentation’s Versatile Package

Python, known for its simplicity, versatility, and flexibility, has become a popular choice among developers. Its extensive collection of libraries and frameworks, such as NumPy, significantly accelerates programming development cycles. Spectrum Instrumentation, a leading provider of digitizers, arbitrary waveform generators, and digital I/O products, has taken Python programming to the next level with its versatile package, spcm.

Python’s simplicity and versatility make it a popular choice among developers.

The spcm package offers a high-level Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) interface, specifically designed for Spectrum Instrumentation’s products. This allows users to take full advantage of the Python language, making it faster and easier to program. The package includes the full source code, as well as a number of detailed examples, and is available on GitHub under the MIT license.

Spectrum’s Python package safely handles the automatic opening and closing of cards, groups of cards, and Ethernet instruments, as well as the allocation of memory for transferring data to and from these devices. All device-specific functionality is encapsulated in easy-to-use classes, including clock and trigger settings, hardware channel settings, card synchronization, direct memory access (DMA), and product features such as Block Averaging, DDS, and Pulse Generator.

The package supports the use of real-world physical quantities and units, enabling users to directly program driver settings in their preferred unit system. This removes the need for tedious manual conversions to cryptic API settings. Moreover, the package also includes support for calculations with NumPy and Matplotlib, allowing users to handle data coming from, or going to, the products with the vast toolbox provided by those packages.

The package supports the use of real-world physical quantities and units.

Installing the package is easy, thanks to its availability in the pip repository. Simply install Python and then the package with a single command: $ pip install spcm. Users can include the Spectrum Instrumentation Python package in their own programs or fork the repository to add more functionality. The package is directly maintained by Spectrum engineers, and updates are released regularly, offering bug fixes and new features.
