Graphical interface for manual interaction with a USBTMC connected instrument. The main purpose is for assistance in developing instrument control software by making it easier to understand how the instrument commands work.
Tkinter is used both as a GUI and thread manager. Event handling uses tkinter's 'bind' method by having objects inherit from tkinters Frame class. A helper class, 'ClientManager' is added to allow data transfer along with event notification.
To use, download and extract to an easily accessible location. run 'USBTMC Explorer/usbtmc explorer.py' from the command line to start the script.
The 'usb_port' folder contains all objects for a standalone USB port interface. The USBport object inherits from tkinter Frame and ClientManager and generates events for connection, disconnection and data transfers to and from endpoints. This object is intended to be embedded in an instrument control application.

Features

  • Based on Python, tkinter and pyUSB
