About the Project
The JDS6600 is a 2-channel DDS signal generator with a built-in frequency counter. It comes in a few flafours, one cam generate signals up to 60MHz, the lite version only up to 15MHz The Signal generator can be controlled via a USB port, and via the control panel. This module makes it easier to control the signal generator via the USB port. It abstacts most of functions offered via the remote control. The documentation I have found on the internmanufacturer's website (https://joy-it.net/de/products/JT-JDS6600), is not very clear and it seems that not all options which are available via manual control, are possible via the remote control. I've also found out the the sgnal generator was available from another company, called Hangzou Junce Instruments.
Getting started
Prerequisites
This python package is only supporting Python 3. The only external dependency is pyserial.
Installation
The package can be installed with pip.
pip install jds6600
pip install jds6600[test]
Quick start
Open and close a connection
Remark: Your USB port may be different.
>>> import jds6600
>>> fg = jds6600.JDS6600(port="/dev/ttyUSB3")
>>> fg.connect()
<jds6600.core.JDS6600 object at 0x7f04a951ac50>
>>> print(fg.get_channels())
(False, False)
>>> fg.close()
Or using the with statement
>>> import jds6600
>>> with jds6600.JDS6600(port="/dev/ttyUSB3") as fg:
... print(fg.get_channels())
...
(False, False)
Available methods:
>>> fg.get_channels()
(False, False)
>>> fg.set_channels(channel1=True, channel2=True)
'ok'
>>> fg.get_waveform(channel=1)
'sine'
>>> fg.set_waveform(channel=1, value='triangle')
'ok'
>>> fg.get_frequency(channel=1)
0.0
>>> fg.set_frequency(channel=1, value=1e3)
'ok'
>>> fg.get_amplitude(channel=2)
5.0
>>> fg.set_amplitude(channel=1, value=1.23)
'ok'
>>> fg.get_offset(channel=1)
0.0
>>> fg.set_offset(channel=1, value=0.5)
'ok'
>>> fg.get_dutycycle(channel=1)
50.0
>>> fg.set_dutycycle(channel=1, value=20.1)
'ok'
