# In[2]:


from qcodes.instrument_drivers.Minicircuits import MiniCircuitsUsbSPDT


# change the serial number to the serial number on the sticker on the back of the device, or leave it blank if there is only one switch box connected
# 
# The driver_path should specify the url of the dll for controlling the instrument. You can find it here:
# 
# https://www.minicircuits.com/softwaredownload/rfswitchcontroller.html
# 
# Download .NET dll and save somewhere. Unblock it (right click properties) and specify the path.
# 
# The downloaded ZIP file contains two DLLs. We recommend using mcl_RF_Switch_Controller_NET45.dll
# which supports the most recent .net versions.
