Connect to the ANC 350 PIEZO Controller in Python

Read our guide for turning Python scripts into Flojoy nodes.

Flojoy

PROTOCOLS > SCPI

📄 IDN

Query a device's identity through the universal *IDN? SCPI command.

📄 MEASURE VOLTAGE

Query an instrument's measured output voltage, such as a DMM or power supply.

📄 SCPI WRITE

Write a SCPI command to a connected bench-top instrument and return the result.

QCodes Community

Here is an example Python script that uses Qcodes Community to connect to an ANC350 PIEZO Controller Positional Controller:

import qcodes as qc
from qcodes.instrument_drivers.attocube.ANC350 import ANC350, ANC350v3Lib

# Create an instance of the ANC350v3Lib library
lib = ANC350v3Lib()

# Create an instance of the ANC350 instrument
anc350 = ANC350("anc350", lib)

# Connect to the ANC350 device
anc350.connect()

# Print the device information
print(anc350.get_idn())

# Access the individual axis channels
x_axis = anc350.axis_channels.x_axis
y_axis = anc350.axis_channels.y_axis
z_axis = anc350.axis_channels.z_axis

# Set the frequency of the x-axis to 1000 Hz
x_axis.frequency(1000)

# Set the amplitude of the y-axis to 50 V
y_axis.amplitude(50)

# Move the z-axis to a target position of 10 mm
z_axis.target_position(10)

# Close the connection to the ANC350 device
anc350.close()

Note: Make sure to install the required dependencies (qcodes and pyanc350) before running the script.
