Qcodes example with Thorlabs MFF10x¶

[1]:

from qcodes_contrib_drivers.drivers.Thorlabs.APT import Thorlabs_APT
from qcodes_contrib_drivers.drivers.Thorlabs.MFF10x import Thorlabs_MFF10x

Initialize the instrument¶

First, we need to initialize the APT server. Then we can initialize the MFF10x mirror flipper.

[2]:

apt = Thorlabs_APT()

[3]:

thorlabs_mff10x = Thorlabs_MFF10x("Thorlabs_MFF10x", 0, apt)

Connected to: Thorlabs MFF002 (serial:37864181, firmware:SW Version 1.0.3) in 0.02s

We read the current position of the mirror flipper.

[4]:

thorlabs_mff10x.position.get()

[4]:

We change the position of the flip mirror and repeat the position reading.

[5]:

thorlabs_mff10x.position.set(1)

[6]:

thorlabs_mff10x.position.get()

[6]:

[7]:

thorlabs_mff10x.close()
apt.apt_clean_up()
