Connect to the Attocube ECC 100 in Python

PROTOCOLS > SCPI

To connect to an Attocube ECC 100 Motion using Instrumental, you can use the following Python script:

from instrumental import instrument, list_instruments


# List all available instruments
instruments = list_instruments()
print(instruments)


# Connect to the Attocube ECC 100 Motion
ecc100 = instrument(instruments[0])


# Get the current position of the linear stage
position = ecc100.get_position()
print("Current position:", position)


# Move the linear stage to a new position
new_position = 100  # Replace with the desired position
ecc100.move_to(new_position, wait=True)


# Get the new position of the linear stage
position = ecc100.get_position()
print("New position:", position)


# Disconnect from the Attocube ECC 100 Motion
ecc100.close()

Note: Make sure to replace instruments[0] with the appropriate instrument name from the list of available instruments.
