mpylab.device.prb_ar_fm7004 module¶

Driver for the Amplifier Research FM7004/FL7018 field probe setup.

class mpylab.device.prb_ar_fm7004.FIELDPROBE(**kw)

Concrete field probe driver for the AR FM7004 controller.

Parameters:: kw (mapping) – Keyword arguments forwarded to the field-probe base class.

GetBatteryState()

Return a fixed battery-state placeholder.

GetData()

Return one three-axis electric-field vector.

Returns:: Status code and x-, y-, and z-axis field strengths in V/m. The quantities include the frequency-dependent probe uncertainty.
Return type:: tuple of (int, list of scuq.quantities.Quantity)

GetDataNB(retrigger=False)

Return data via the blocking acquisition path.

Parameters:: retrigger (bool or str, optional) – Whether to trigger the next acquisition after returning the current value.
Returns:: Result returned by GetData().
Return type:: tuple of (int, list of scuq.quantities.Quantity)

Init(ini=None, channel=None, ignore_bus=None)

Initialize probe communication and enable correction mode.

Parameters:

Returns:

Driver initialization status.

Return type:

int

SetFreq(freq)

Set probe frequency and return its readback.

Parameters:: freq (float) – Correction frequency in Hz.
Returns:: Status code and confirmed frequency in Hz, or None if the readback could not be parsed.
Return type:: tuple of (int, float or None)

mpylab.device.prb_ar_fm7004.main(): Start the legacy UI test harness for this probe driver.

mpylab.device.prb_ar_fm7004.test()

Create and initialize a test field-probe instance.
