Learn how to develop your own applications to monitor or control
instrumentation hardware. Whether you need to acquire data from a
device or automate its functions, this practical book shows you how to
use Python's rapid development capabilities to build interfaces that
include everything from software to wiring. You get step-by-step
instructions, clear examples, and hands-on tips for interfacing a PC to
a variety of devices. Use the book's hardware survey to identify the
interface type for your particular device, and then follow detailed
examples to develop an interface with Python and C. Organized by
interface type, data processing activities, and user interface
implementations, this book is for anyone who works with
instrumentation, robotics, data acquisition, or process control.
Understand how to define the scope of an application and determine the
algorithms necessary, and why it's important Learn how to use
industry-standard interfaces such as RS-232, RS-485, and GPIB Create
low-level extension modules in C to interface Python with a variety of
hardware and test instruments Explore the console, curses, TkInter, and
wxPython for graphical and text-based user interfaces Use open source
software tools and libraries to reduce costs and avoid implementing
functionality from scratch
