Connecting to Orbit 3 Sensor by Orbit3 in Python

Instrument Card

Orbit 3 is a wireless sensor for ambient temperature and humidity monitoring. Install Orbit 3 at a suitable location, and it will wirelessly transmit temperature and humidity readings continuously. It can be used in precast factories, concrete laboratories, on-site – or wherever ambient climate creates value for you.

PROTOCOLS > SCPI

📄 IDN

Query a device's identity through the universal *IDN? SCPI command.

📄 MEASURE VOLTAGE

Query an instrument's measured output voltage, such as a DMM or power supply.

📄 SCPI WRITE

Write a SCPI command to a connected bench-top instrument and return the result.

PyTango

import PyTango

# Create a DeviceProxy object to connect to the Orbit 3 Sensor Temperature Sensor
device_proxy = PyTango.DeviceProxy("device_name")

# Read the temperature attribute
temperature = device_proxy.read_attribute("temperature").value

# Print the temperature value
print("Temperature:", temperature)

In the code above, replace "device_name" with the actual name of the Orbit 3 Sensor Temperature Sensor device. This code connects to the device using PyTango’s DeviceProxy class, reads the temperature attribute, and prints the temperature value.
