AKjDPG 3.2: Talk

Python based USB device controlling — •Benedikt Bieringer — Institut für Kernphysik, Uni Münster, Germany

USB devices are a main part of practically every physics experiment. In this talk, multiple ways of writing a graphical device readout and control software for USB devices in Python are demonstrated. While the use of proprietary drivers is presented, also self-written, user-space Python USB drivers are introduced as a tool to minimizing software and hardware requirements. This talk gives an overview over writing Python modules in C++, writing USB drivers in Python, analyzing USB packets using Wireshark, writing a user-space driver with PyUSB and writing a GUI software with updating plots in Python.
