NAME

Lab::Connection::USBtmc - connection class which uses /dev/usbtmc as backend

SYNOPSIS

This is not called directly. To make a GPIB suppporting instrument use Lab::Connection::USBtmc, set the connection_type parameter accordingly:

$instrument = U2000->new(
   connection_type => 'USBtmc',
   usb_vendor => 0x3838,
   usb_product => 0x1234,
)

Ways to indicate device:

tmc_address => number   (for /dev/usbtmcN)
visa_name => 'USB::0x1234::0x5678::serial:INSTR';
usb_vendor => 0x1234,  usb_product => 0x5678

DESCRIPTION

Lab::Connection::USBtmc provides a GPIB-type connection with the bus Lab::Bus::USBtmc, using /dev/usbtmc* as backend.

It inherits from Lab::Connection::GPIB and subsequently from Lab::Connection.

For Lab::Bus::USBtmc, the generic methods of Lab::Connection suffice, so only a few defaults are set:

wait_status=>0, # usec;
wait_query=>10, # usec;
read_length=>1000, # bytes

CONSTRUCTOR

new

my $connection = Lab::Connection::USBtmc->new(
   usb_vendor => 0x1234,   # vendor id
   usb_product => 0x5678,  # product id
}

METHODS

Mostly, this just falls back on the methods inherited from Lab::Connection.

config

Provides unified access to the attributes of all the child classes. E.g.

$USB_product = $instrument->config('usb_product');

Without arguments, returns a reference to the complete $self->config created by the constructor.

$config = $connection->config();
$USB_product = $connection->config()->{'usb_product'};

CAVEATS/BUGS

Probably few. Mostly because there's not a lot to be done here. Please report.
