Reading LCR meter in python

[jasonfry]

Hi all,

We would like to use the LCR meter in python in order to acquire data and correlate the inductance measurements with other variables and inputs. Does anyone have experience reading inductance from the LCR meter in python? I know there is a C code executable (lcr.c) - has anyone ported that to python? We would just like to control everything in python since the Red Pitaya will be recording data that will be correlated with other serial communication devices and having access to the LCR readouts using python would be helpful. Thanks!

Currently, the LCR meter cannot be controlled through Python. This will be added in the future.

Thank you, that would be appreciated.

For now, we are trying to reproduce what the LCR meter does in python following some of the examples given in the knowledge base.

I would also request that the data logging in the LCR meter app have time stamps with the ability for the user to control how often data is logged.

That is a great suggestion, thank you.

We will add it to the feature log.
