Dear friends, I have a trouble with understanding the following. I have a very short script (shown below) which works fine if I "run" step by step (or line by line) in Python shell (type the first line/command -> press Enter, etc.). I can get all numbers (actually, there are no numbers but a long string, but this is not a problem) I need from a device:
'0.3345098119,0.01069121274,0.02111624694,0.03833379529,0.02462816409,0.0774275008,0.06554297421,0.07366750919,0.08122602002,0.004018369318,0.03508462415,0.04829900696,0.06383554085, ...' However, when I start very the same list of commands as a script, it gives me the following, which is certainly wrong: [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0,...] Any ideas? Why there is a difference when I run the script or do it command by command? =========================== from visa import * mw = instrument("GPIB0::20::INSTR", timeout = None) mw.write("*RST") mw.write("CALC1:DATA? FDATA") a=mw.read() print a =========================== (That is really all!) PS In this case I use Python Enthought for Windows, but I am not an expert in Windows (I work usually in Linux but now I need to run this data acquisition under Windows). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
