class VICP(addr='LCRY3703N15966', port=1861, timeout=5, debug=False)

Bases: object

Interface to LeCroy Oscilloscopes using the VICP protocol.

__init__(addr='LCRY3703N15966', port=1861, timeout=5, debug=False)

Initialize the VICP interface.

Parameters:

• addr (str) – The IP address or hostname of the LeCroy Oscilloscope.

• port (int) – The TCP/IP port of the LeCroy Oscilloscope (default is 1861).

• timeout (float) – The timeout for socket operations in seconds (default is 5).

• debug (bool) – If True, enables debug output (default is False).

Methods

__init__([addr, port, timeout, debug])	Initialize the VICP interface.
close()	Close the VICP interface.
query(data)	Send a query to the VICP interface and read the response.
read()	Read a string from the VICP interface until a newline character is encountered.
read_bytes([size])	Read a specified number of bytes from the VICP interface.
read_chunk([size])	Read a chunk of data from the VICP interface, optionally specifying the size.
read_raw()	Read raw data from the VICP interface until a newline character is encountered.
write(data[, term])	Write a string to the VICP interface, optionally with a termination string.
write_raw(data)	Write raw bytes to the VICP interface.

close()

Close the VICP interface.

query(data)

Send a query to the VICP interface and read the response.

Parameters:

data (str) – The query string to send to the VICP interface.

Returns:

The response string read from the VICP interface.

Return type:

str

read()

Read a string from the VICP interface until a newline character is encountered.

Returns:

data – The string read from the VICP interface.

Return type:

str

read_bytes(size=1)

Read a specified number of bytes from the VICP interface.

Parameters:

size (int) – The number of bytes to read (default is 1).

Returns:

data – The bytes read from the VICP interface.

Return type:

bytes

read_chunk(size=None)

Read a chunk of data from the VICP interface, optionally specifying the size.

Parameters:

size (int) – The number of bytes to read (if None, the size is determined from the header).

Returns:

data – The chunk of data read from the VICP interface.

Return type:

bytes

read_raw()

Read raw data from the VICP interface until a newline character is encountered.

Returns:

data – The raw data read from the VICP interface.

Return type:

bytes

write(data, term='')

Write a string to the VICP interface, optionally with a termination string.

Parameters:

• data (str) – The string to send to the VICP interface.

• term (str) – An optional termination string to append to the data (default is ‘’).

write_raw(data)

Write raw bytes to the VICP interface.

Parameters:

data (bytes) – The raw bytes to send to the VICP interface.
