# PyVISA-proxy
[](https://pyvisa-proxy.readthedocs.io/) [](https://github.com/casabre/pyvisa-proxy/actions/) [](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyvisa-proxy)  [](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyvisa-proxy) [](LICENSE)
This plugin should extend PyVISA's funtionality mainly in order to address local hardware which is attached to a remote node, e.g. USB or GPIB. In the end, you can decouple your VISA instrument hosting where you need bare metal nodes and the test script runner.
## Getting started
### Installation
Using pip:
```shell
pip install pyvisa-proxy
```
### Server
In order to make devices remotely available, just run the PyVISA-remote server on your node. The server will open new VISA resources per request. Just run
```shell
python -m pyivsa_proxy --port 5000
```
in order to host your "local" connections. Use any available port for network sharing.
### Client
Use a client like a normal PyVISA class. The calls will be forwarded by reflection to the server. In order to get started, use the following snippet in your code.
```python
import pyvisa
rm = pyvisa.ResourceManager("YourProxyServerIp:YourProxyServerPort@proxy")
instr = rm.open_resource(resource="GPIB0::1::INSTR")
print(instr.query("*IDN?"))
```
