Lab Brick Digital Attenuator (LDA)
----------------------------------
On Linux, you need to give your user access to the usb device.
You can do that by creating a file under ``/etc/udev/rules.d/`` named
``99-lda.rules`` with the following content::
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="041f", MODE="0666"
Then you need to tell udev to reload its rules::
$ sudo invoke-rc.d udev reload
You must also unplug/replug your device if it was already plugged in.
Then, to run the Lab Brick Digital Attenuator (LDA) controller::
$ lda_controller -d SN:xxxxx
The serial number must contain 5 digits, prepend any number of 0 necessary.
Also, the ``SN:`` prefix is mandatory.
You can chose the exact LDA model with the ``-P`` parameter. The default being LDA-102.

Thorlabs T-Cube

TDC001 controller usage example
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
First, run the TDC001 controller::
$ thorlabs_tcube_controller -P TDC001 -d /dev/ttyUSBx
.. note::
On Windows the serial port (the ``-d`` argument) will be of the form ``COMx``.
.. note::
Anything compatible with `serial_for_url <http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/pyserial_api.html#serial.serial_for_url>`_
can be given as a device in ``-d`` argument.
For instance, if you want to specify the Vendor/Product ID and the USB Serial Number, you can do:
``-d "hwgrep://<VID>:<PID> SNR=<serial_number>"``.
for instance:
``-d "hwgrep://0403:faf0 SNR=83852734"``
The hwgrep URL works on both Linux and Windows.
Then, send commands to it via the ``artiq_rpctool`` utility::
$ artiq_rpctool ::1 3255 list-targets
Target(s): tdc001
$ artiq_rpctool ::1 3255 call move_relative 10000 # will move forward
$ artiq_rpctool ::1 3255 call move_relative -10000 # will move backward
$ artiq_rpctool ::1 3255 call move_absolute 20000 # absolute move to 20000
$ artiq_rpctool ::1 3255 call move_home # will go back to home position
$ artiq_rpctool ::1 3255 call close # close the device
TPZ001 controller usage example
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
First, run the TPZ001 controller::
$ thorlabs_tcube_controller -P TPZ001 -d /dev/ttyUSBx
.. note::
On Windows the serial port (the ``-d`` argument) will be of the form ``COMx``.
.. note::
See the :ref:`TDC001 documentation <tdc001-controller-usage-example>` for
how to specify the USB Serial Number of the device instead of the
/dev/ttyUSBx (or the COMx name).
Then, send commands to it via the ``artiq_rpctool`` utility::
$ artiq_rpctool ::1 3255 list-targets
Target(s): tpz001
$ artiq_rpctool ::1 3255 call set_output_volts 15 # set output voltage to 15 V
$ artiq_rpctool ::1 3255 call get_output_volts # read back output voltage
15
$ artiq_rpctool ::1 3255 call set_tpz_io_settings 150 1 # set maximum output voltage to 150 V
$ artiq_rpctool ::1 3255 call set_output_volts 150 # set output voltage to 150 V
$ artiq_rpctool ::1 3255 call close # close the device

NI PXI6733
----------
PXI6733 controller usage example
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This controller has only been tested on Windows so far.
To use this controller you need first to install the NI-DAQmx driver
from http://www.ni.com/downloads/ni-drivers/f/.
Then you also need to install PyDAQmx python module::
$ git clone https://github.com/clade/PyDAQmx
$ cd PyDAQmx
$ C:\Python34\Tools\Scripts\2to3.py -w .
$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install
Then, you can run the PXI6733 controller::
$ pxi6733_controller -d Dev1
Then, send a load_sample_values command to it via the ``artiq_rpctool`` utility::
$ artiq_rpctool ::1 3256 list-targets
Target(s): pxi6733
$ artiq_rpctool ::1 3256 call load_sample_values 'np.array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0], dtype=float)'
This loads 4 voltage values as a numpy float array: 1.0 V, 2.0 V, 3.0 V, 4.0 V
Then the device is set up to output those samples at each rising edge of the clock.
