testgear

Package to control a lot of testgear in an easy and uniform way

to install type:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/PhilippCo/testgear.git#egg=testgear

Multimeter

The multimeter configuration is done by using a method for every function to make use of autocompletion during writing your code.

DCV measurement

conf_function_DCV(mrange=None, nplc=100, AutoZero=True, HiZ=True, channel=1)

Configures the instrument to measure DC volts

• mrange: sets the range of function. If mrange is None (default) the meter is set to autorange
• nplc: sets the number of power line cycles to integrate one measurement
• AutoZero: swictches AutoZero for everymeasurement on and off
• HiZ: sets the meter to high impedance input (if possible)
• channel: selects the channel of meter, if more than one is availble

ACV measurement

conf_function_ACV(mrange=None, nplc=100, AutoZero=True, HiZ=True, channel=1)

DCI measurement

conf_function_DCI(mrange=None, nplc=100, AutoZero=True, HiZ=True, channel=1)

ACI measurement

conf_function_ACI(mrange=None, nplc=100, AutoZero=True, HiZ=True, channel=1)

Ohm 2W measurement

conf_function_OHM2W(mrange=None, nplc=100, AutoZero=True, OffsetCompensation=True, channel=1)

Configures the instrument to measure OHMs with 2 wires

• OffsetCompensation: enables the offset compensation feature of the meter

Ohm 4W measurement

conf_function_OHM4W(mrange=None, nplc=100, AutoZero=True, OffsetCompensation=True, channel=1)

Configures the instrument to measure OHMs with 4 wires
