Method Details [hide private]

__init__(self, a, g)
(Constructor)

source code 

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

Overrides: object.__init__
(inherited documentation)

check_open(self)

source code 

Check the device is open. Return True if it is.

set_fast_mode(self, b)

source code 

Start using the HP 3457A for 3.5 digit measurements as fast as possible. If b=1, apply fast mode to AC measurements also (Only recommended for signals >400Hz).

clear_fast_mode(self)

source code 

End fast mode. Revert to high precision mode.

set_function(self, f, v)

source code 

Set Function to f and Range to v. f may be: 'dcv', 'acv', 'acdcv', 'ohm', 'ohm4', 'dci', 'aci', 'acdci', 'freq', 'period' v depends on f. For volts functions: 'auto', '30mv', '300mv', '3v', '30v', '300v' For ohm functions: 'auto', '30r', '300r', '3k', '30k', '300k', '3m', '30m', '3g' For time functions: 'auto'
