ADI’s SigmaStudio tool for A2B topology set up can be controlled via a Windows COM API provided by Analog Devices. In this example we’ll create a small Python program to load an A2B configuration and then capture data from a temperature sensor connected to one of the nodes.
This example is specifically focused on the A2B API, however it’s also possible to control a SigmaDSP application in this same manner. This opens up a lot of possibilities to test up complex A2B + SigmaDSP + peripheral applications from within Python. This can be particularly useful for test system development – the Python code can control the hardware state as well as interact with test equipment to provide sophisticated test automation.
