Aim-TTi

`AimTTiEL302P` Power Supply

class instruments.aimtti.AimTTiEL302P(filelike, *args, **kwargs)[source]

The Aim-TTI EL302P is a single output power supply.

Because it is a single channel output, this object inherits from both PowerSupply and PowerSupply.Channel.

Before this power supply can be remotely operated, remote communication must be enabled and the unit must be on. Please refer to the manual.

Example usage:

>>> import instruments as ik
>>> psu = ik.aimtti.AimTTiEL302P.open_serial('/dev/ttyUSB0', 9600)
>>> psu.voltage = 10 # Sets output voltage to 10V.
>>> psu.voltage
array(10.0) * V
>>> psu.output = True # Turns on the power supply

class Error(*values)[source]

Enum containing the possible error codes returned by the instrument.

error_none = 'ERR 0': No errors

error_not_recognized = 'ERR 1': Command not recognized

error_outside_limits = 'ERR 2': Command value outside instrument limits

class Mode(*values)[source]

Enum containing the possible modes of operations of the instrument.

current = 'M CC': Constant current mode

voltage = 'M CV': Constant voltage mode

reset()[source]: Resets the instrument to the default power-up settings (1.00V, 1.00A, output off).

property channel

Return the channel (which in this case is the entire instrument, since there is only 1 channel on the EL302P.)

Return type:: ‘tuple’ of length 1 containing a reference back to the parent EL302P object.

property current

Gets/sets the output current of the source. Value must be between 0.01A and 2A.

Units:: As specified, or assumed to be \(\text{A}\) otherwise.
Type:: float or Quantity

property current_max

property current_min

property current_sense

Gets the actual output current measured by the power supply.

Units:: \(\text{A}\)
Return type:: Quantity

property error: Gets the value in the error register.

property mode: Gets output mode status.

property name

Gets the name of the connected instrument.

Return type:: str

property output

Gets/sets the output status for the power supply channel. This is an abstract method.

Type:: bool

property voltage

Gets/sets the output voltage of the source. Value must be between 0V and 30V.

Units:: As specified, or assumed to be \(\text{V}\) otherwise.
Type:: float or Quantity

property voltage_max

property voltage_min

property voltage_sense

Gets the actual output voltage measured by the power supply.

Units:: \(\text{V}\)
Return type:: Quantity
