1 Pypiezo: Python modules to control piezoelectric actuators.
3 Mostly a set of convenient wrappers around pycomedi calls for keeping
4 track of the relevant calibration constants. To get a feel for an
5 "official" set of calibration constants, you can take a peek at
6 `veeco_header`, which is the beginning of a saved Veeco NanoScope
7 image file. It lists the parameters used by the NanoScope during
20 I've packaged pypiezo for Gentoo. You need layman_ and my `wtk
21 overlay`_. Install with::
23 # emerge -av app-portage/layman
25 # emerge -av sci-libs/pypiezo
31 If you're installing by hand or packaging pypiezo for another
32 distribution, you'll need the following dependencies:
34 =========== ================= =====================
35 Package Debian_ Gentoo_
36 =========== ================= =====================
37 Numpy_ python-numpy dev-python/numpy
38 Scipy_ python-scipy sci-libs/scipy
39 H5Py_ python-h5py dev-python/h5py
40 Matplotlib_ python-matplotlib dev-python/matplotlib
41 Nose_ python-nose dev-python/nose
42 Pycomedi_ dev-python/pycomedi
43 PyYAML_ python-pyyaml dev-python/pyyaml
44 =========== ================= =====================
50 Pypiezo is available as a Git_ repository::
52 $ git clone http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/code/git/pypiezo.git
54 See the homepage_ for details. To install the checkout, run the
57 $ python setup.py install
63 See the module docstrings for simple examples.
69 Run internal unit tests with::
71 $ nosetests --with-doctest --doctest-tests pypiezo
