Setting up the PyVISA-proxy server

PyVISA-proxy needs a remote server in order to provide access to plugged in instruments.

You can run the PyVISA-proxy server calling the package with the synchronization port:

pyvisa_proxy --port 5000

An asynchronous server process will start which can be addressed from the remote client interface.

If you need a custom rpc channel port, call the package with an additional RPC port:

pyvisa_proxy --port 5000 --rpc-port 5001

If you want to set a custom PyVISA backend, call the package with the backend parameter:

pyvisa_proxy --port 5000 --backend "@py"
