Bases: VisaInstrument

QCodes driver for the Weinschel 8320 stepped attenuator.

Weinschel is formerly known as Aeroflex/Weinschel

Attributes:

default_terminator

The default terminator to use if the terminator is not specified when creating the instrument.

attenuation

Control the attenuation
default_terminator: str | None = '\r'

The default terminator to use if the terminator is not specified when creating the instrument. None means use the default terminator from PyVisa.

attenuation = Parameter( "attenuation", unit="dB", set_cmd="ATTN ALL {0:0=2d}", get_cmd="ATTN? 1", vals=vals.Enum(*np.arange(0, 60.1, 2).tolist()), instrument=self, get_parser=float, )
