python control of second instance UPBv2

Post by gsboyle »

hi all - am looking to read the output of multi instances of pegasus UPBv2 (and a USB hub) on my machine using the python scripts provided. (the multi instances of the control software open fine)

the python script documentation talks of a UDP IP of 127.0.0.1 and port of 45000 referenced in the python config file.

i'm not a coder and my developer is not an astro engineer so unfamiliar with the pegasus boxes.

when wanting to read the additional instances..... is it the UDP IP and/or port that change?
if they do how do I find what they change too?

I launched an IP scanner on my machine hoping that this would identify the UPBs (do they even have a normal ip address as I don't see it in the config pane of the UPBv2 control application? ) but there are so many untitled ip addresses with 192.... that I have no way of spotting them .

thanks for any steers here
