Python Scripts

[PLL_Geek]

Hello All,

I just got my analog discovery board, but being an analog geek, I am clueless how to run a python program. I found a curve tracer program I want to try. Can anyone help me get started?

Hello,

You can use the WaveForms (2015) application designed for Digilent instrumentation devices:

The instrumentation devices can be controlled by custom application or script (C, Python, LabView, MatLab...) using the WaveForms Runtime.
In the WF SDK install location you can find the documentation and some examples.

To run a Python program on Windows install a Python package like WinPython.

C:\WinPython-32bit-2.7.6.2\python-2.7.6>python "C:\Program Files (x86)\Digilent\WaveFormsSDK\samples\py\Device_Enumeration.py"

The Script interface in the WaveForms (2015) Application is a different thing. This allows you to control the instruments of the application, like: perform a Scope acquisition, based on the measurements, adjust the Wavegen paramters;
