netgpib package

A bunch of python modules and scripts for communicating with GPIB devices over TCP/IP networks are written. These files are collectively called netgpib package. This page explains the usage of the package.

Where is it ?

On the 40m martian machines, the package is installed in /cvs/cds/caltech/scripts/general/netgpibdata/. This directory is included in $PATH by default.

The latest version of the package is in the 40m svn repository ( https://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:30889/svn/trunk/getgpibdata/netgpibdata/ ). Actually, /cvs/cds/caltech/scripts/general/netgpibdata/ is a working copy of the repository. So you can type svn up to synchronize the directory with the repository.
