Libraries and GUI Tools

Many language bindings and GUI tools are able to discover and interface IIO devices, below is a summary.

Python interface

The pyadi-iio library provides high-level Python bindings for ADI IIO devices.

Installation

pip install pyadi-iio

Basic usage

import adi

# For serial connection (no-OS TinyIIO, Linux)
dev = adi.ad405x("serial:/dev/ttyACM0,115200")

# For network connection (Linux)
# dev = adi.ad405x("ip:192.168.2.1")

# Configure the device
dev.rx_buffer_size = 1024

# Capture data
data = dev.rx()
print(f"Captured {len(data)} samples")
print(f"First 10 samples: {data[:10]}")

See examples/ad4052_example.py for a complete example (the AD4052 and AD4062 share the same driver and Python class).

Scopy

Scopy is ADI’s advanced signal analysis software with support for IIO devices.

Scopy provides additional features:

  • Advanced signal analysis

  • Spectrum analyzer

  • Data logging

  • Export to various formats

Then connect using one of the backends available.

IIO Oscilloscope

IIO Oscilloscope is a GTK-based GUI application for visualizing IIO device data.

Launch IIO Oscilloscope:

~$

osc

Connect to the device using the same backends as Scopy.

Once connected, you can:

  • View real-time waveforms

  • Configure device attributes (sample rate, oversampling, etc.)

  • Capture and export data

  • Perform FFT analysis
