RsInstrument module provides convenient way of communicating with R&S instruments.

Basic Hello-World code:

.. code-block:: python

    from RsInstrument import *

    instr = RsInstrument('TCPIP::192.168.56.101::hislip0', id_query=True, reset=True)
    idn = instr.query_str('*IDN?')
    print('Hello, I am: ' + idn)

Version history:
----------------

    Version 1.82.1.106 (13.06.2024)
        - Fixed failing 'import visa' statement for python > 3.10

    Version 1.82.0.105 (07.06.2024)
        - Changes in ScpiLogger:
            - info(), error() - changed the last parameter 'cmd' to optional
            - info_bin(), info_list() - changed the order of the last two parameters!!! 'cmd' moved to the end and made optional, to be compatible with 1.61.0
            - ContextManager VisaTimeoutSuppressor made more robust in case of exceptions inside the other exceptions.

    Version 1.80.0.103 (27.05.2024)
        - Core 1.90.0 with more robust _flush_junk_data() that tolerates read timeouts.
        - Added Logger.log_info_replacer for customizing the logging info strings.
        - Logger info strings 'Write string' and 'Query string' shortened to 'Write' and 'Query'

    Version 1.70.0.102 (26.04.2024)
        - To all query_str_list_xxx() methods, added non-mandatory parameter 'remove_blank_response'.
        - Logger: added new variable to the format string: %SCPI_COMMAND%, where you can only log SCPI commands to your log data.
        - Added Context-managers for ignoring errors and ignoring VISA Timeouts:

            .. code-block:: python

                # Any Instrument error in the context is ignored
                with io.instr_err_suppressor() as supp:
                    io.write("*RSaT")
                if supp.get_errors_occurred():
                    print("Error(s) suppressed")

                # Any Timeout error in the context is ignored
                with io.visa_tout_suppressor(500) as supp:
                    io.write("*IDaN")
                if supp.get_timeout_occurred():
                    print("VISA Timeout suppressed")


        - Added to Utilities interface: query_str_list(), query_str_list_with_opc(), query_bool_list(), query_bool_list_with_opc().
        - Added Utility functions: value_to_si_string(), size_to_kb_mb_gb_string().
        - Changed behaviour of the Conversion functions to list:
            - str_to_float_list()
            - str_to_float_or_bool_list()
            - str_to_int_list()
            - str_to_int_or_bool_list()
            - str_to_bool_list()

            These functions previously returned a list of one element if the input value was whitespace-only string. Now, in such case they return empty list.

    Version 1.61.0.101 (27.02.2024)
        - Added settings profile 'XK41' for R&S Software Defined Radios.
        - Added settings 'FirstCmds' where you can send the defined commands right after the init. Send more commands in a row with ';;' separator.
        - Added settings 'EachCmdPrefix' - this prefix is added to each command sent to the instrument. Supported values are also 'lf', 'cr', 'tab'.

    Version 1.60.0.100 (31.01.2024)
        - Fixed SocketIo session for cases when the instrument connection is lost in the middle of reading a response.
        - Fixed VisaPluginSocketIo read() method for cases where the session is lost. The method now generates exception in that case.
        - Added settings OpcSyncQueryMechanism with changed default value to 'only_check_mav_err_queue'.
        - Added settings 'OpcSyncQueryMechanism' with values: Standard, AlsoCheckMav, ClsOnlyCheckMavErrQueue, OnlyCheckMavErrQueue.

        - Added lock_resource() and unlock_resource() methods for device-site locking.
        - Added Context-manager interface to the RsInstrument class. Now you can use it as follows:

            .. code-block:: python

                with RsInstrument("TCPIP::192.168.1.101::hislip0") as io:
