Connect to the CC126Mu in Python

PROTOCOLS > SCPI

To connect to a CC126Mu camera using Instrumental, you can use the following Python script:

from instrumental import instrument, list_instruments


# List all available instruments
cameras = list_instruments()


# Connect to the first camera
camera = instrument(cameras[0])


# Perform operations on the camera
# For example, get the camera name
name = camera.name
print("Camera Name:", name)


# Close the connection to the camera
camera.close()

This script first lists all available instruments using the list_instruments() function from Instrumental. Then, it connects to the first camera in the list using the instrument() function. You can perform various operations on the camera, such as getting the camera name using the name property. Finally, the script closes the connection to the camera using the close() method.
