TPG_256A

Description

class tpg_256a_pressure_monitor.TPG_256A.TPG_256A(serial_port: str = None, baud_rate: int = None, connect: bool = False, timeout: float = None, config_file: str = None)

Driver implementation for the Pfeiffer TPG-256A. The device is a six-channel pressure readout and monitor controller. The driver has been adapted to Python3 from the PyExpLabSys library, and implements the following commands (see the device documentation for more information):

Mnemonic	Description
PNR	Program number (firmware version)
PR[1 … 6]	Pressure measurement (measurement data) gauge [1 … 6]
TID	Transmitter identification (gauge identification)
SEN,0,0,0,0,0,0	Gauge status
