class qmi.instruments.stanford_research_systems.sim922.SIM922(context: QMI_Context, name: str, sim900: Sim900, port: int)

Instrument driver for the Stanford Research Systems SIM922 Temperature Monitor

get_id() str

Query module identification string.

Returns:

Module identification string.

get_voltage(channel: int) float

Query the readout voltage on the specified channel.

Returns:

Readout voltage in millivolts.

get_temperature(channel: int) float

Query the temperature on the specified channel.

Returns:

Temperature in Kelvin.

is_excited(channel: int) bool

Query the specified channel if excitation current is on.

Parameters:

channel – Channel to query

Returns:

True if excitation current is on, else False.

set_excitation(channel: int, current_on: bool) None

Set current excitation to the specified channel to on/off. :param channel: Channel to set excitation current. :param current_on: True if current on, else False.

close() None

Close the connection to the instrument hardware and release associated resources.

When this method returns, the instrument must not be used again unless it is first re-opened by calling the open() method.

Subclasses can extend this method if they have specific resources to close. If they do, they should call super().close() as a last statement.

force_unlock() None

Forcefully unlock the remote object.

This unlocks the object, regardless of who owns the lock. This allows you to unlock an object if the locking proxy has been destroyed without unlocking.

Use this with care.

Do not override this stub method in subclasses. It has already been implemented in QMI_RpcProxy.

classmethod get_category() str | None

Return the optional name of the category this object belongs to.

A category name is a free-form string that has no special significance. Its purpose is to distinguish between groups of RPC objects that fulfill similar roles.

get_name() str

Return the name of this object.

Returns:

name attribute.

get_signals() list[SignalDescription]

Return a list of signals that can be published by this object.

Returns:

List consisting of qmi_signals attributes.

is_locked() bool

Query if the remote object is locked.

Do not override this stub method in subclasses. It has already been implemented in QMI_RpcProxy.

is_open() bool

Return True if the instrument is open (ready for interaction).

lock(timeout: float = 0.0, lock_token: str | None = None) bool

Lock the remote object. If timeout is given, try every 0.1s within the given timeout value. The remote object can be locked with an optional custom lock token by giving a string into lock_token keyword argument.

If successful, this proxy is the only proxy that can invoke RPC methods on the remote object; other proxies will receive an “object is locked” response. The return value indicates if the lock was granted; a denied lock means the object was already locked by another proxy.

Do not override this stub method in subclasses. It has already been implemented in QMI_RpcProxy.

open() None

Connect to the instrument hardware.

When this method returns, the instrument must be ready for interaction via calls to instrument-specific methods.

Subclasses can extend this method to implement instrument-specific initialization. If they do, they should call super().open() as a last statement.

release_rpc_object() None

Give a warning if the instrument is removed while still open.

unlock(lock_token: str | None = None) bool

Unlock the remote object.

Without optional parameters, this is only allowed by the proxy that initially locked the object. By giving the lock token as an input parameter, the specific object locked by this token can be unlocked. The return value indicates if the unlocking was successful.

Do not override this stub method in subclasses. It has already been implemented in QMI_RpcProxy.
