PL (and more) Series Channel

From: AimTTI Class: herosdevices.hardware.aimtti.pl_series.PLSeriesChannel

Driver Quality Index: beta

A single channel of a PL Series power supply.

This class provides an herosdevices.interfaces.atomiq.VoltageSource compatible interface to control a single channel of a PL Series power supply.

Note

This class does not directly connect to the hardware but to another object given by the host_device argument which can also be a HERO running on another machine. It can be used to provide a universal interface which does not require setting a channel for every operation.

Arguments

Bold arguments are mandatory. For more information on the listed arguments refer to the class documentation: herosdevices.hardware.aimtti.pl_series.PLSeriesChannel If parameters appear in this list but not in the class definition, please recursively check the linked base classes for the definition of the parameter.

Argument	Type	Default Value	Description
voltage_limits	tuple[float, float]		Voltage limits of the channel. Can be used to set artificial guard rails.
current_limits	tuple[float, float]		Current limits of the channel. Can be used to set artificial guard rails.
host_device	<class ‘herosdevices.hardware.aimtti.pl_series.GenericPSU’>		The host GenericPSU device.
channel	<class ‘int’>	1	The channel to control (1, 2, or 3)
