If the example code runs successfully, the lights on your qontroller will flash as commands are transmitted, and output channels are energised. The example will set some voltages on your device so it is important to check that no sensitive equipment is connected when running it. The example code example.py can be found in the intallation directory of qontrol.py. The LSD is inserted the wrong way around! Running the example code

To run it follow these steps: start python, import qontrol and run the interactive shell. The program is called run_interactive_shell(). This API provides also a command line interface for direct communication with the Qontrol unit.

a computer connected to the internet to let the system download the serial port USB drivers.

The operations described in this guide require: Other features include full ANSI/VT100 terminal emulation, break-sequence support (for Cisco, etc), a line-buffered send mode, a fully featured SSH/Telent client, and much more.This Getting started document will guide you through the first configuration and test of the q8 unit If you can't find an OS X driver for yourĪdapter (eg, Belkin), give Serial a try as it'll probably work! The free demo is fully functional for 7 days. Serial Serial is a great Terminal Emulation Program with built-in driver support for most USB to serial devices. Or, ctrl-click/right-click on the app and select Open from the pop-up menu so not to permanently lower your security settings. If you have trouble installing any of the following (or any other program) with an unidentified developer error, goto: System Preferences ➤ Secrity & Privacy ➤ General and click on Allow Applications Downloaded from: Anywhere and try again. If you can't find a driver for your adapter (eg, Belkin), try Serial which has built-in support for most (if not all) USB-Serial adapters. If you're looking for a command line app, there's Screen (built-in) or Minicom.
