  • Increase maximum string length.

  • Fix maximum address for node scanning.

  • Updated parameter database.

1.2.0

  • Corrected string behavior.

  • Updated parameter database.

1.1.1

  • Updated parameter database.

1.1.0

  • Updated parameter database.

  • Updated examples.

1.0.2

  • Fix install from .tar.gz package.

1.0.1

  • Updated parameter database.

1.0.0

  • Updated parameter database.

  • Add support for devices with multiple channels.

  • Add support for automatically reopening serial port.

  • Add support for callback on read and write parameters of instrument instances.

  • Update string handling.

0.5.5

  • Fix database json loading using deprecated keyword encoding.

0.5.4

  • Add support for externally provides serial class, this enables solutions that do not use a pySerial compatible serial port. The given serial class must support in_waiting, read, write, open, close.

  • Fix issue that write would modify parameter type of passed parameters.

0.5.3

  • Fix issues with write chaining.

  • Support receiving strings that exceed MAX_PP_PARM_LEN.

0.5.2

  • Add IP Address parameters to database.

  • Added mechanism to reduce CPU load with the new serial port handling.

0.5.1

  • Fixed dump mode (broken due to new serial port handling).

  • Fixed bug in string handling.

  • Return parameters now contain the requested type when they are custom types (PP_TYPE_FLOAT, PP_TYPE_SINT16, PP_TYPE_BSINT16).

  • Changed database to return copy of dict, so modifcations to a parameter won’t influence ‘new’ request of that parameter.

0.5.0

  • Added support for propar broadcast messages (using master.broadcast_callback).

  • Improved database performance upto 400 times.

  • Data will now be read from serial port in chunks, when there is more data available. This speeds up the processing and keeps buffers clear.

  • Support for unchained multiple parameter propar read messages.

0.4.0

  • Added __version__ attribute.

  • Added dde_nr and parm_name fields to output parameters of read_parameters, when they are present in the request parameters.

  • Added experimental support for Propar ASCII. Can be enabled with master.propar.mode = propar.PP_MODE_ASCII (mode is set to propar.PP_MODE_BINARY by default).

  • Changed formatting for debug messages to: TX/RX (Length): Data.

  • Fixed bug in reading strings from response message (in a chained read).

  • Fixed bug in request/response matching where when re-using a master after aborting a running action (for example CTRL+C in an interactive python session), sometimes the old response to that action would match the new request.

0.3.4

  • Reduced CPU load (set timeout of serial port in propar provider).

0.3.3

  • Fixed issue with matching requests to responses in master. Improved compatibility for master.get_nodes.

0.3.2

  • Changed debug message to only show when flag is set.

0.3.1

  • Compatibility improved in master.get_nodes function on propar master.

0.3.0

  • Improved propar performance, added additional dump mode.

0.2.3

  • Fix some errors in the project description and examples.

0.2.1

  • Initial public release.
