python-Tsunami-Vanguard

A non-official python GUI for the Spectra Physics' Vanguard and Tsunami (Millenia pump) laser (and its model lok-to-clock 3930)


Config used for testing : Windows 7 Python 3.5 (Anaconda 3) For Tsunami laser + model lok-to-clock 3930 Vanguard laser (lasers from the company Spectra Physics) Tried with these lasers CPU only. Maybe adaptable to other lasers

Required libraries :

  • PyQt5, with QtDesigner to change the GUI
  • pySerial pySerial works perfectly in V2 version !

(for the V1 version, pyVisa-py was required, note that pyVisa is also fine))

Consider saying thanks ! --> maxime.pinsard@outlook.com


To just use the GUI :

  • Open a command prompt on windows
  • just ensure in the code that the paths to the .py files are correct
  • copy/paste (right-click, paste) the content of code.txt and press Enter
  • Enjoy !
