Test connection handling, multiple clients, instrument access across
all three virtual instruments, physics engine integration, and error
handling. Update pytest-asyncio config for v1.x compatibility.
Create SimulationServer that wires physics engine to all virtual
instruments and exposes them over TCP. Add 'serve' CLI command to
start the server with configurable ports and physics rate.
Create InstrumentServer class with asyncio for hosting virtual SCPI
instruments over TCP. Supports registering instruments on specific
ports with port-to-instrument mapping.
Comprehensive test coverage for MultimeterSim including MEAS:VOLT:DC,
MEAS:CURR:DC, CONF, and READ commands. Tests both standalone operation
and physics engine integration including temperature-dependent measurements.
Implement SCPI-based virtual DMM with DC voltage and current measurement.
Supports MEAS, CONF, and READ commands. Integrates with physics engine
for DUT output measurements.
Comprehensive test coverage for PowerSupplySim including VOLT, CURR,
OUTP, and MEAS commands. Tests both standalone operation and physics
engine integration.
Implement SCPI-based virtual power supply with voltage/current control
and output enable commands. Integrates with physics engine for DUT
input voltage simulation.
- TEMP:SETPOINT: Set/query target temperature
- TEMP:ACTUAL?: Query actual chamber temperature from physics engine
- TEMP:STAB?: Query temperature stability (within 0.5°C threshold)
Provides SCPI command parsing and dispatch mechanism for virtual
instruments. Includes IEEE 488.2 common commands (*IDN?, *RST, *CLS,
*OPC) and abstract methods for instrument-specific implementations.
Comprehensive test suite for SCPI command parsing:
- SCPICommand dataclass tests (creation, keyword property)
- Parser tests for queries, commands, arguments
- IEEE 488.2 common command tests (*IDN?, *RST, etc.)
- Edge cases (whitespace, empty strings)
- Instrument-specific command tests
Also fixed bug where is_query was determined from command string
ending rather than header ending (handles queries with arguments).
Adds SCPIParser class with parse() method that handles:
- IEEE 488.2 common commands (*IDN?, *RST, etc.)
- Query commands (ending with '?')
- Commands with comma-separated arguments
- Whitespace stripping
- Add time multiplier control (1× to 100× speed)
- Calculate steps based on real elapsed time
- Add 50ms delay to prevent UI thrashing
- Display current speed in Sim Time metric
Full implementation of step() method with thermal-electrical coupling:
- Chamber temperature first-order response to setpoint
- Case temperature with self-heating via thermal calculations
- Junction temperature from θ_jc thermal resistance
- Electrical state from temperature-dependent DUT model
