A simple utility for controlling Mini-Circuits RCDAT programmable attenuator
This interactive terminal application is written in Python. It can be used to control certain Mini-Circuits programmable attenuators over HTTP. It has only been tested with the following model numbers:
- RCDAT-4000-120
If known, the user can directly specify the IP address of the device, e.g.:
$ python rcdat.py 192.168.1.2
If no argument is provided, the application will first attempt to discover the device's address using a UDP broadcast message on port 4950:
$ python rcdat.py
The end user should change the DISCOVERY_IP variable to reflect her local
network broadcast address. Depending on the user's system, it may be necessary
to modify firewall settings or to run the application with elevated privileges.
