Instec said: “While we do have sample code for Python, it is based on a USB connection, not Ethernet. 

Our documentation on Ethernet programming is limited because it isn’t very frequently used for custom applications.

This ZIP file contains example code for python using a USB connection. It could serve as the basis for an ethernet version.”

Ethernet communication setup from Instec.

Mainly describes how to write code to find Instec devices on a network.

Note PacketSender image within, which shows correct port to use for ethernet communication.

Steve’s python code that uploads a PID table from a .csv file (in Instec format) to the device over USB.

Example PID tables also included (one with actual values, and one with integers that was useful for testing code).
