Python Library Available
If you would prefer to control the USB attenuators using Python instead of our standard Windows based test program, JFW does offer a Python library (jfwusb.py). Email our engineering department for the Python library and examples.
Python Library Features:
- Auto-discovery of any JFW USB devices connected to the computer.
- Set persistent device names for each attenuator.
- Set/read attenuator by its device number.
- Set/read attenuator by its serial number.
- Set/read attenuator by its user defined name.
- Set all attenuators to the same dB value, min dB value, or max dB value.
