Migrating from PyVISA < 1.5¶
Note
if you want PyVISA 1.4 compatibility use PyVISA 1.5 that provides Python 3 support, better visa library detection heuristics, Windows, Linux and OS X support, and no singleton object. PyVISA 1.6+ introduces a few compatibility breaks.
Some of these decisions were inspired by the visalib
package as a part of Lantz
Short summary¶
PyVISA 1.5 has full compatibility with previous versions of PyVISA using the legacy module (changing some of the underlying implementation). But you are encouraged to do a few things differently if you want to keep up with the latest developments and be compatible with PyVISA > 1.5.
Indeed PyVISA 1.6 breaks compatibility to bring across a few good things.
If you are doing:
>>> import pyvisa
>>> keithley = pyvisa.instrument("GPIB::12")
>>> print(keithley.ask("*IDN?"))
change it to:
>>> import pyvisa
>>> rm = pyvisa.ResourceManager()
>>> keithley = rm.open_resource("GPIB::12")
>>> print(keithley.query("*IDN?"))
If you are doing:
>>> print(pyvisa.get_instruments_list())
change it to:
>>> print(rm.list_resources())
If you are doing:
>>> import pyvisa.vpp43 as vpp43
>>> vpp43.visa_library.load_library("/path/to/my/libvisa.so.7")
change it to:
>>> import pyvisa
>>> rm = pyvisa.ResourceManager("/path/to/my/libvisa.so.7")
>>> lib = rm.visalib
If you are doing::
>>> vpp43.lock(session)
change it to:
>>> lib.lock(session)
or better:
>>> resource.lock()
If you are doing::
>>> inst.term_chars = '\r'
change it to:
>>> inst.read_termination = '\r'
>>> inst.write_termination = '\r'
If you are doing::
>>> print(lib.status)
change it to:
>>> print(lib.last_status)
or even better, do it per resource:
>>> print(rm.last_status) # for the resource manager
>>> print(inst.last_status) # for a specific instrument
If you are doing::
>>> inst.timeout = 1 # Seconds
change it to:
>>> inst.timeout = 1000 # Milliseconds
As you see, most of the code shown above is making a few things explict. It adds 1 line of code (instantiating the ResourceManager object) which is not a big deal but it makes things cleaner.
If you were using printf
, queryf
, scanf
, sprintf
or sscanf
of vpp43
,
rewrite as pure Python code (see below).
If you were using Instrument.delay
, change your code or use Instrument.query_delay
(see below).
A few alias has been created to ease the transition:
- ask -> query
- ask_delay -> query_delay
- get_instrument -> open_resource
A more detailed description¶
Isolated low-level wrapping module¶
In the original PyVISA implementation, the low level implementation (vpp43
) was
mixed with higher level constructs. The VISA library was wrapped using ctypes.
In 1.5, we refactored it as ctwrapper
. This allows us to test the
foreign function calls by isolating them from higher level abstractions.
More importantly, it also allows us to build new low level modules that
can be used as drop in replacements for ctwrapper
in high level modules.
In 1.6, we made the ResourceManager
the object exposed to the user. The type of the
VisaLibrary
can selected depending of the library_path
and obtained from a plugin
package.
We have two of such packages planned:
- a Mock module that allows you to test a PyVISA program even if you do not have VISA installed.
- a CFFI based wrapper. CFFI is new python package that allows easier and more robust wrapping of foreign libraries. It might be part of Python in the future.
PyVISA 1.5 keeps vpp43
in the legacy subpackage (reimplemented on top of ctwrapper
)
to help with the migration. This module is gone in 1.6.
All functions that were present in vpp43
are now present in ctwrapper
but they
take an additional first parameter: the foreign library wrapper.
We suggest that you replace vpp43
by accessing the VisaLibrary
object under the attribute
visalib of the resource manager which provides all foreign functions as bound methods (see below).
No singleton objects¶
The original PyVISA implementation relied on a singleton, global objects for the
library wrapper (named visa_library
, an instance of the old pyvisa.vpp43.VisaLibrary
)
and the resource manager (named resource_manager
, and instance of the old
pyvisa.visa.ResourceManager
). These were instantiated on import and the user
could rebind to a different library using the load_library
method. Calling this
method however did not affect resource_manager
and might lead to an inconsistent
state.
There were additionally a few global structures such a status
which stored the last
status returned by the library and the warning context to prevent unwanted warnings.
In 1.5, there is a new VisaLibrary
class and a new ResourceManager
class (they are
both in pyvisa.highlevel
). The new classes are not singletons, at least not in the
strict sense. Multiple instances of VisaLibrary
and ResourceManager
are possible,
but only if they refer to different foreign libraries. In code, this means:
>>> lib1 = pyvisa.VisaLibrary("/path/to/my/libvisa.so.7")
>>> lib2 = pyvisa.VisaLibrary("/path/to/my/libvisa.so.7")
>>> lib3 = pyvisa.VisaLibrary("/path/to/my/libvisa.so.8")
>>> lib1 is lib2
True
>>> lib1 is lib3
False
Most of the time, you will not need access to a VisaLibrary
object but to a ResourceManager
.
You can do:
>>> lib = pyvisa.VisaLibrary("/path/to/my/libvisa.so.7")
>>> rm = lib.resource_manager
or equivalently:
>>> rm = pyvisa.ResourceManager("/path/to/my/libvisa.so.7")
Note
If the path for the library is not given, the path is obtained from the user settings file (if exists) or guessed from the OS.
In 1.6, the state returned by the library is stored per resource. Additionally,
warnings can be silenced by resource as well. You can access with the last_status
property.
All together, these changes makes PyVISA thread safe.
VisaLibrary methods as way to call Visa functions¶
In the original PyVISA implementation, the VisaLibrary
class was just having
a reference to the ctypes library and a few functions.
In 1.5, we introduced a new VisaLibrary
class (pyvisa.highlevel
) which has
every single low level function defined in ctwrapper
as bound methods. In code,
this means that you can do:
>>> import pyvisa
>>> rm = pyvisa.ResourceManager("/path/to/my/libvisa.so.7")
>>> lib = rm.visalib
>>> print(lib.read_stb(session))
(But it is very likely that you do not have to do it as the resource should have the function you need)
It also has every single VISA foreign function in the underlying library as static method. In code, this means that you can do:
>>> status = ctypes.c_ushort()
>>> ret lib.viReadSTB(session, ctypes.byref(status))
>>> print(ret.value)
Ask vs. query¶
Historically, the method ask
has been used in PyVISA to do a write
followed
by a read
. But in many other programs this operation is called query
. Thereby
we have decided to switch the name, keeping an alias to help with the transition.
However, ask_for_values
has not been aliased to query_values
because the API
is different. ask_for_values
still uses the old formatting API which is limited
and broken. We suggest that you migrate everything to query_values
Seconds to milliseconds¶
The timeout is now in milliseconds (not in seconds as it was before). The reason behind this change is to make it coherent with all other VISA implementations out there. The C-API, LabVIEW, .NET: all use milliseconds. Using the same units not only makes it easy to migrate to PyVISA but also allows to profit from all other VISA docs out there without extra cognitive effort.
Removal of Instrument.delay and added Instrument.query_delay¶
In the original PyVISA implementation, Instrument
takes a delay
argument that adds a pause after each write operation (This also can
be changed using the delay
attribute).
In PyVISA 1.6, delay
is removed. Delays after write operations must
be added to the application code. Instead, a new attribute and argument
query_delay
is available. This allows you to pause between write` and ``read
operations inside query
. Additionally, query
takes an optional argument
called query
allowing you to change it for each method call.
Deprecated term_chars and automatic removal of CR + LF¶
In the original PyVISA implementation, Instrument
takes a term_chars
argument to change at the read and write termination characters. If this
argument is None
, CR + LF
is appended to each outgoing message and
not expected for incoming messages (although removed if present).
In PyVISA 1.6, term_chars
is replaced by read_termination` and
``write_termination
. In this way, you can set independently the termination
for each operation. Automatic removal of CR + LF
is also gone in 1.6.


Like you, we are devastated by the acceralatered effects of climate change, rapid rate of deforestation, and decline of animals species. We know you want to make a change. Us too. But we also know that caring people can have busy lives. Don't worry though, our social enterprise got you covered.
Plant Life offers nine plant species, each provides different and much needed benefits to the ecosystem. Purchase as many of each species as you like. Then you can sit back and relax - you have done your part. We will go on the grounds to do all the tree planting and nurturing for you. All our benefits goes to support the struggling local farmers & their communities as well as grass-root activism to stop deforestation.

FCR - Form
constant character string terminated with a carriage return and null bytes
[label] FCR string
The FCR directive is used to store carriage return/null terminated ASCII
strings into consecutive bytes of memory. The byte storage begins at the
current program counter. If a label is present it will be assigned address of
the first byte in the string. Any of the printable ASCII characters can be
contained in the string. The string is specified between two identical
delimiters which can be any printable ASCII character. The first non-blank
character after the FCR directive is used as the delimiter. The assembler
will automatically append a carriage return ($0d) and null byte ($00) to the
end of the string.
Examples:
fcr "some string here" fcr /some string here/
Additionally KASM supports the ability to include trailing byte declarations
similar to FCB statements to the end of the FCR declaration.

About 10pm smoked three hits of Salvia divinorum 10x extract.
As I held the third hit, I felt my consciousness splatter across three dimensional space.
I heard someone walking up the steps a couple of stories down, in the old creaky wooden hotel I was staying in. My consciousness was riveted to the sound of the footsteps, somehow extending from wherever it was to encompass the space between me and the person returning to his/her room. I felt/saw that person open the door, felt myself merge with the door and then with them. I felt some beings/entities try to hold me back from remembering the big secret that I was witnessing: that there is no difference between this person, myself, the door, the hotel, or anything else in the universe, that we were all the same. I know this sounds like trite new age propaganda, but it actually felt quite terrifying, this realization that nothing truly separates me from the next person, that we are all manifestations of the same thing, whatever that is.
I also felt a strong sense from these entities, as if they were chattering in unison 'what are you doing here?'.
Then I noticed that to the left of the point in the universe where my consciousness was, there was a surface extending to infinity, like a massive wall, with an infinite number of villi-like protuberances emerging from it. These villi were other awarenesses. I noticed/felt family members and friends. Together we were facing the void, facing oncoming time, which was advancing from my right. The surface of this wall was in constant movement, but it wasn't as if anyone was moving, rather it was as if there was a constant flux of protuberances emerging and being re-absorbed by the surface. Life and death? I don't know.
Interestingly, when I returned to a normal state, after about 15 minutes, I did not initially remember the first part of the experience, that of merging down a floor, and the sense of a hidden secret, all I remembered was the awesome image of the infinite wall of consciousnesses and the onslaught of oncoming time. It was the next day, in the shower, that the full, or what I hope is the full, recollection hit me.
I'm not sure I'd say that anything about this experience was fun or recreational. I still have no idea what to make of it. I am tempted to try it again, but also terrified.

About Us
Donut Delights was started in 1971 by Melvin Furballski, an immigrant baker from the far east coast of Poland. Known far and wide for his delicate pastries, Melvin fled his homeland in search of a better life for his family.
In 1970 he landed in New York City and by chance he found an open seat on a bus heading west. When an unexpected mechanical failure forced a three day delay in Champaign, Illinois, Furballski saw the need for a donut shop, so he decided to stay and make a new life for himself in Urbana, Illinois. With only one hundred dollarsto his name, he found an abandoned breadshop and within two days he had one of a kind donuts flying off the racks faster than he could bake them and things have never slowed down. Now you can find that same great donut recipe plus dozens more still being made with the samelove and care as when Donut Delights first opened.
A bakery fire in the mid-1980s destroyed many of the shop's records...but NOT THE RECIPES. While many people might have viewed the fire as an excuse to quit, Melvin instead used it as anopportunity to reconfigure the interior design, allowing him to add the coffee roastery section as well. So when you visit, be prepared for the inviting mix of aromas from fresh-roasted coffee beans and fresh-baked donuts: It's the closest thing to "Breakfast Heaven" anywhere in the C-U area!

The Executive Engineer/ Assistant Executive Engineer Bangalore Hubli Electricity Supply Company Ramanagar Division Ramnagar - 562 820 6. The Assistant Executive Engineer Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Ramanagar Division, Ramanagar - 562 830 ... RESPONDENTS (Sri.R.G.Kolle, AGA for respondents 1 and 3 3 Sri.D.Nagaraj, Advocate for respondent No.2 Sri.N.K.Gupta, Advocate for respondents 4 and 5) **** These Writ Petitions are filed under Articles 226 and 227 of Constitution of India praying to issue to writ of certiorari quashing the closure notice dated 27.8.2012 vide Annexures-C to C2 issued by respondent No.2. These Writ Petitions coming on for preliminary hearing this day, Dr.Jawad Rahim, J., delivered the following:- ORDER
The petitioners, M/s Manjunatha Stone Crusher, M/s Venkateshwara Stone Crusher and M/s Nanjundeswara Stone Crusher are proprietary concerns of D.Dasappa, H.C.Shivanna and Laxmamma respectively, engaged in running a stone crushing units under licenses issued by the competent authority arrayed in this writ petition as respondent no.3.
2. It is not in dispute the petitioner is a licensee and the licenses are valid to run the stone crushing units. In this writ action he has sought a writ of certiorari to quash the closure notices bearing reference 4 nos.PCB/MIN/SC/CO/UIN/2012-13/577, PCB/MIN/SC/CO/UIN/2012-13/559 and PCB/MIN/SC/CO/UIN/2012-13/550, all dated 27.8.2012 vide Annexures-C to C2 issued under Section 31(A) of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution Act, 1981, by the 2nd respondent. They also seek issuance of a writ of mandamus to direct the 3rd respondent (competent authority under the Act) to consider the applications filed on 16.11.2012, 19.11.2012 and 16.12.2012 vide Annexures-D to D2 to permit the petitioners to operate their crushing units pending consideration of the application, and consequential reliefs.
3. These writ petitions and several other petitions seeking similar relief are listed for consideration and we have heard learned counsel, Sri Hanumanthreddy Sahukar for the petitioners, Sri R.G.Kolle, AGA, who accepts notice on behalf of respondents 1 and 3 and Sri D.Nagaraj, learned advocate who accepts for respondent no.2. 5
4. The contextual facts manifesting from the averments in the writ petitions and the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioners and respondents leaves no scope for doubt that this writ action is similar to the writ action of similarly placed owners of crushing units in which questions raised in this writ petition were considered in detail in W.P.41069/12 disposed of by the Division Bench of this court on 21.11.2012 quashing the closure notice issued by the Karnataka Pollution Control Board arrayed as respondent no.2 in that writ petition and issuing a writ of mandamus to permit the petitioner therein to continue stone crushing activity till its application for re-locating the unit to a safer zone was disposed of by the competent authority, i.e. Deputy Commissioner (respondent no.3 arrayed in that writ petition).
5. We are satisfied the orders impugned in that writ petition, grounds against it and the relief sought are the same as in this writ action. Therefore, we cannot summon ourselves to take a different view but to follow the decision of the Division Bench in W.P.41069/12 dated 21.11.2012 in 6 which, while rendition of the judgment, all facts and circumstances have been taken into consideration. However, to avoid any doubt, we need to extract the core of the judgment which is as follows:
'In the present case, by Gazette Notification dated 14.8.2012 safer zones in Haveri had been duly notified to the public. Section 3(3) of the Karnataka Regulation of Stone Crushers Act, 2011 (for short, 'the Act') permits a period of three months to existing stone crusher units to trans-locate themselves to safer zones. In this regard an application has to be filed with the Licensing Authority within a reasonable time. Unfortunately, the Act does not prescribe this period. In the present case, the Petitioner applied to the Licensing Authority on 24.9.2012. It is not disputed that consequent upon the petitioner's application, the Licensing Authority till date has neither granted or refused the license under the provisions of the said Act. Since Section 3(4) of the Act prescribes an outer limit of six months for shifting from the date of grant, it could be inferred that the application has to be made within three months of the requisite Gazetting of the safer zones.
2. In these circumstances, the petition is allowed by directing the respondents to permit the operation of the petitioner at the present site upt 23.12.2012 or till such time the application is considered and disposed of, by the Licensing Authority.
3. Learned counsel for the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (for short 'the Board) submits that the petitioner did not 7 apply for the consent of the Board on the expiry of the previous consent on 30.6.2012. In normal circumstances, the contention would be well founded since no one is permitted to operate without current permission or consent.
4. In the circumstances of the present case, however, a piquant situation has arisen, inasmuch as the Pollution Control Board cannot grant permission to the petitioner to operate in its present site, since it must statutorily relocate to a safer zone as identified by the State. Needless to add that if and when the petitioner is granted a license to relocate to a safer zone, conditions under Section 6(9) of the Act will have to e complied with as also the permission would have to be obtained from the Board.
5. With these observations, the petition is allowed and Annexure-H dated 5.9.2012 is quashed.'
6. Under the circumstances, Annexures-C to C2 all dated 27.8.2012 impugned in these writ petitions issued by the 2nd respondent are quashed. In terms of the order extracted above, these petitions are also allowed directing the respondents to permit operation of the stone crushing units of the petitioners at the present site till such time its applications are considered and disposed of by the licensing authority, or for a period of four weeks from now, as ordered in that writ petition. Rule issued and made 8 absolute. In the circumstances, there shall be no order as to costs.

{% extends "base.html" %} {% block title %} Caesar Cipher {% endblock %} {% block content %}
The Caesar cipher is one of the first known ciphers to be used and is elementary in nature. Also known as the shift cipher, this cipher is known as a substitution cipher, such that each letter in the plaintext message is shifted a consistent amount down the alphabet.
For instance, the message "dog" with a shift of 1 would become "eph" as the letter 1 after 'd' is 'e', 1 after 'o' is 'p' and 1 after 'g' is 'h' Try the cipher out for yourself using the form below!
Watch the youtube video below for a brief demonstration!


We propose a change in the language used to talk about protoypes, to focus more attention on fundamental questions about the interactive system being designed: What role will the artifact play in a user's life? How should it look and feel? How should it be implemented?
These three questions to build a model of what prototypes prototype are very meaningful. I have foundation of Industrial Design so that I've experienced pretty different prototypes from interaction designers says. The confusion often happened in team communication for me too. Some prototypes are for just appearance, and some are for functionality. However with this questions, it feels like more clear for me, it can indicate clear goal of the prototype no matter what form it will be.
Build multiple prototypes. Since interactive artifacts can be very complex, it may be impossible to create an integrated prototype in the formative stages of a project, as in the 3D space-planning example. Choosing the right focused prototypes to build is an art in itself.
I strongly agreed with this statement. The beauty of prototype is maker never know how it will work. Users are not fully predictable because we are maker not a god, so sometimes people tend to use it differently, or confused, or likes unexpected aspect of prototyes. So building many prototypes as possible and experiment with it is the best way to test and get a great result.
Example 8. Animation of the look and feel of a fashion design workspace[E8 Hill 1992].
It is not a quote but one example from the reading, but this reminded me the Yeezy Supply of Kanye West, now the look is different but this reminded me this version. The purpose of those two are very different, but I felt this website demo also highly focusing on look and feel and a bit of Role.


REVIEW: Small Soldiers By Luke Buckmaster<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Cast: Gregory Smith, Kirsten Dunst, Kevin Dunn, Phil Hartman, Denis Leary, Ann Magnuson, Wendy Schaal, Jay Mohr, David Cross, voice of Tommy Lee Jones, voice of Frank Langella Director: Joe Dante Screenplay: Ted Elliott, Zak Penn, Adam Rifkin, Terry Rossio, Gavin Scott
>From 0 stars (bomb), to 5 stars (a masterpiece): 3 stars
Get ready, get set, go: it's the Commander Elites versus the Gargonites. The Elites, a group of allegiant US soldiers and the Gargonites, a collection of mutated monsters from another planet. But this ain't no battle in space or the future - it's Winslow Corners, Ohio, and the troops are no more than ten inches tall. They're toys, you see, and their elaborate minds kick into high gear to create a bad-ass Toy Story on steroids. With all reasonable credibility stacked against it, Joe Dante (of Gremlins fame) makes it work. And never since we saw Buzz Lightyear and Woody on the screen have action figures actually generated some sort of emotion, mar the fact that all the Elite bastards want to do is destroy every and anything allied with the Gargonites.
 But heck, it's all about fun, and it comes in bucket loads when you watch the manufactured toys slug it out. Although it as first seems that Dante is unsure of whom he wants us to barrack for, the "there will be no mercy" Elites become poised as a splendid group of baddies, who think that they're the heroes of the story.
Two bumbling employees of Globe Tech, presumably some sort of high tech and omnipotent organization, design a new set of toys to impress the boss. In order for the toys to think and react by themselves, state of the art military chips are inserted into them. The Commando Elites are programmed to destroy the enemy at any price, and the Gargonites to hide and search for their home planet Gargon. Thus a memorable bunch of misfits are created but with no specific originality - the cliché characters are well and truly evident, especially in the hard-hitting leader of the Elite's (voice of Tommy Lee Jones) and the set of bumbling (but lovable) Gorganites.
I guess it goes without saying that the team from Industrial Light & Magic have once again created some splendid animation eye candy; the toys don't move like cartoon characters, they move like toys. Their voices are played by a wide range of quirky counterparts: Jones, Frank Langella, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Christina Ricci amongst others.
 The only actor who breathes much needed energy into his character is the late Phil Hartman, in his last screen role. And although Hartman is at his best only when he is the instigator (take his hilarious character in News Radio, for example), this is certainly a worthy final performance for someone who was one of the true funnymen on TV.
The only really discouraging aspect of Dante's unique creation is the poorly written, poorly executed battle sequences. The framework for these scenes is too simplistic and repetitive, as we find our baneful Elites doing everything possible to strike miniature amounts of terror into the audience. They squirm, wriggle and twist their way into vapid scenarios, which mostly involve a large catapulting device or a speedy flying contraption. Not even the addition of hundreds of aggressive Barbie dolls manages to give the scenes more credibility. But in all fairness, the final moments make some great viewing - who would have thought that a showdown between two toys on top of a telephone pole would be one of the most memorable action sequences this year?
Despite the fact that Small Soldiers might well be one of the most grisly kids flicks in recent years, Dante seems unclear whom to market it for, with its childlike moments of super-happy-fun and its particularly gruesome end to the team of Elites. But still, he does make it work, and in an industry where action figures can be a huge slice of the market, it's refreshing to see a film which subtly parodies the commercialism of mainstream cinema.
