As I had some free time, and we had recently got Programmable Power Supply RIGOL DP832, I have made python based GUI, to communicate with RIGOL.
It is based on:
PyVisa version: 1.8
PyQt version: 5.8.1
Qt version: 5.8.0
Matplotlib version: 2.0.0
and uses Ethernet to communicate with RIGOL.
pip install -U pyvisa
pip install -U pqt5

Excellent control software! I’m using a DP811A, which seems to crash the script when trying to plot a graph. The normal controls work fine. Probably has something to do with the number of channels (only 1 on the DP811A). The script reports:
VI_ERROR_RSRC_NFOUND (-1073807343): Insufficient location information or the requested device or resource is not present in the system.
