Pfeiffer Vacuum gauge controller hardware plug-in for ScopeFoundry.
This package provides interfaces for two Pfeiffer Vacuum gauge controllers:
- Pfeiffer VGC / TPG 256A MaxiGauge multi-channel pressure gauge controller, communicating via a manufacturer-specific ASCII serial protocol over RS232.
- Pfeiffer Vacuum MPT200 multi-gauge transmitter, communicating via the Pfeiffer Vacuum RS-485 telegram protocol.
Both report pressure readings and sensor type per channel, with unit
conversion between mbar/Pa and Torr provided via connected/scaled
LoggedQuantities.
