Rust port of the C++ NI-VISA SCPI example (PMXXX_SCPI.cpp) that talks to the Linux kernel USBTMC driver (/dev/usbtmc*) directly instead of NI-VISA: - device auto-discovery by Thorlabs USB vendor id (0x1313) via sysfs - blocking one-shot acquisition (MEASure?) with temperature readout - continuous non-blocking acquisition (INIT:CONT + FETC:BINA?) following the manual's "Continuous Measurements" flow - USB488 Remote Enable (REN) handling required by PM100D2/PM100D3 handheld meters, mirroring the NI-VISA session ritual (ioctl via the nix crate) - udev rule for user-space access to Thorlabs usbtmc devices Includes a README with build/run instructions and firmware quirks observed on a PM100D2 (fw 1.0.7); items not further verified are marked as reference-only.

Thank you very much for your contribution! We appreciate the time and effort you put into this work. Since Rust is not currently a supported language within our example repository, we have decided not to proceed with this change at this time. That said, we believe this example could be valuable for some customers. We therefore plan to add a link to your repository to our internal notes as a reference for Linux and Rust users. |
