lockin module

class lockin.LockIn(device)

Bases: object

connect()

Function to establish connection to Lockin.

Returns:

Zurich Instruments localhost name, device details and True if device is connected

Return type:

tuple

setParameters(diff_2, diff, imp50, imp50_2, ac, Range, lowpass, rate, tc, c_2, amplification)

Function to set default Lockin parameters.

Parameters:

• diff (int, required) – Boolean representation to turn differentiale mode on and off: default: 1

• imp50 (int, required) – Boolean representation to turn 50 Ohm impedance(?) on or off, default: 0

• imp50_2 (int,required) – Boolean representation to turn on 50 Ohm on channel 2 to attenuate signal from chopper controller as reference signal, default: 1

• ac (int, required) – Boolean representation to turn AC voltage on or off, default: 0

• Range (int, required) – Voltage range for measurement, default: 2V

• lowpass (int, required) – low pass filter order

• rate (int, required) – data transfer rate

• tc (int, required) – time constant for measurement

• c_2 (str, required) – Channel 2, with value 1, for the reference input

• amplification (int, required) – Lock-in amplification of the signal

Return type:

None
