DMMDriverBase#

class DMMDriverBase[source]#

Bases: ABC

Vendor DMM driver contract. Concrete drivers own their transport and lifecycle.

Range and NPLC are split per function (set_dc_voltage_range, set_ac_current_nplc, …) so the driver never tracks the active function — InstroDMM dispatches based on its own _measurement_config.

Methods

close

Close the underlying transport.

measure_ac_current

Trigger an AC-current measurement and return the value (amperes RMS, vendor-dependent).

measure_ac_voltage

Trigger an AC-voltage measurement and return the value (volts RMS, vendor-dependent).

measure_dc_current

Trigger a DC-current measurement and return the value (amperes).

measure_dc_voltage

Trigger a DC-voltage measurement and return the value (volts).

measure_four_wire_resistance

Trigger a 4-wire-resistance measurement and return the value (ohms).

measure_resistance

Trigger a 2-wire-resistance measurement and return the value (ohms).

open

Open the underlying transport and put the instrument into a known state.

set_ac_current_nplc

Set AC-current integration time to nplc power-line cycles.

set_ac_current_range

Set manual AC-current range to value amperes; None selects auto-range.

set_ac_voltage_nplc

set_aperture_seconds

Set integration time directly in seconds.

set_dc_current_nplc

Set DC-current integration time to nplc power-line cycles.

set_dc_current_range

Set manual DC-current range to value amperes; None selects auto-range.

set_dc_voltage_nplc

Set DC-voltage integration time to nplc power-line cycles.

set_dc_voltage_range

set_four_wire_resistance_range

Set manual 4-wire-resistance range to value ohms; None selects auto-range.

set_measurement_function

Configure the DMM for function (DC voltage, AC current, 2-wire resistance, …).

set_two_wire_resistance_nplc

Set 2-wire-resistance integration time to nplc power-line cycles.

set_two_wire_resistance_range

Set manual 2-wire-resistance range to value ohms; None selects auto-range.
