Snippit from device manual explaining simplicity of telnet connection. SG tested this with PuTTY and it works; simplest command to test is the device name: spc 01 which should return: OK 00 SPC2 |  | From page 14 of “SPC Controller Manual”, posted just above. Full command list starts on page 19 of same manual. (Steve is annotating the command list for KPF’s needs) |
Python code that Steve lifted from web, slightly modified, and found it worked! Key part in here (I think) is the command structure; this is the 'Read Pressure' command: s.send(('spc 0B' + "\r\n").encode())
