See AMC13ObsoletePyChipsSoftware if for some reason you want the no-longer-supported PyChips based software.

The python code is included as of v1.1.0

• https://svnweb.cern.ch/trac/cactus/browser/tags/amc13 -- Browse tags
• svn co svn+ssh://svnuser@svn.cern.ch/reps/cactus/tags/amc13/amc13_v1_1_0 e.g. for checkout

The python code is installed with the regular package. Check out the code from SVN, go to the top level directory and execute:

  $ source env.sh
  $ make

There are some sample scripts in ...dev_tools/python. You'll need a connection file, which needs to reference the address table files distributed with the software. The way I handle this is to create a symbolic link to the ...etc/amc13 directory:

  $ cd .../dev_tools/python
  $ ln -s ../../amc13/etc/amc13 .

Then the connection file can use the symlink to find the address tables. Sample connection file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<connections>
  <connection id="T1" uri="chtcp-2.0://localhost:10203?target=192.168.1.169:50001" address_table="file://amc13/AMC13XG_T1.xml" />
  <connection id="T2" uri="chtcp-2.0://localhost:10203?target=192.168.1.168:50001" address_table="file://amc13/AMC13XG_T2.xml" />
</connections>

Finally you can run your script as follows:

  $ ./printversion.py connectionSN43_ch.xml
  Using AMC13 software ver:35051
  T1 firmware version 0x4016
  T2 firmware version 0x25
