`python-mhs5200`

Python module for controlling inexpensive MHS5200 signal generators.

The MHS5200 are an family of DDS signal generators that have 16 arbitrary wave functions. However, the software is for Windows and not especially good (giant Labview compiled program with lots of issues).

Developed using the KKmoon High Precision Digital DDS Dual-channel Signal Source Generator Arbitrary Waveform Frequency Meter 200MSa/s 25MHz..

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/jed-frey/python_mhs5200.git#egg=mhs5200

Useage Examples:

from mhs5200 import MHS5200
import mhs5200.enums as WAVE
signal_gen = MHS5200(port="/dev/ttyUSB0")

Disable Generator Output

signal_gen.off()

Enable Generator Output

signal_gen.on()

Save settings to a memory slot.

signal_gen.save(1)

Load settings from a memory slot.

signal_gen.load(1)

Channels:

signal_gen.chan1 == signal_gen.channels[0]

True

signal_gen.chan2 == signal_gen.channels[1]

True

chan1 = signal_gen.channels[0]

chan1.frequency = 1 # Hz
chan1.amplitude = 10 # V-pp
chan1.offset = 0 # V
chan1.wave = WAVE.SINE

chan2 = signal_gen.chan2
chan2.frequency = 2 # Hz
chan2.amplitude = 5 # V-pp
chan2.offset = 2.5 # V
chan2.wave = WAVE.SQUARE

Save default settings for power on. The above code block sets the power on settings.

signal_gen.save(0)
signal_gen.save()

Read Channels

for channel in signal_gen.channels:
    print(f"{channel.frequency}Hz, {channel.amplitude}V")

1.0Hz, 10.0V
2.0Hz, 5.0V

signal_gen.off()

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

from mhs5200.utils import songs, play_song

play_song(signal_gen, songs["twinkle"])

Tests

Multiple tests are included, TODO close loop with oscilloscope.

TODO

Integrate / test against python-ivi &/| InstrumentKit
Test on another MHS-5200 device.
Better crossplatfor testing.
Arbitrary waveforms.
External measurements.
Better documentation.
Closed loop testing.
