PROTOCOLS > SCPI

📄 IDN

Query a device's identity through the universal *IDN? SCPI command.

📄 MEASURE VOLTAGE

Query an instrument's measured output voltage, such as a DMM or power supply.

📄 SCPI WRITE

Write a SCPI command to a connected bench-top instrument and return the result.

QCodes

To connect to a Keysight 33522B RF Signal Generator using Qcodes, you can use the following Python script:

from qcodes.instrument_drivers.Keysight.Keysight_33XXX import WaveformGenerator_33XXX

# Create an instance of the instrument
signal_generator = WaveformGenerator_33XXX('signal_generator', 'TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::INSTR')

# Connect to the instrument
signal_generator.connect_message()

# Now you can use the instrument to control the signal generator
# For example, to set the frequency of channel 1 to 1 MHz:
signal_generator.ch1.frequency(1e6)

# To turn on the output of channel 1:
signal_generator.ch1.output('ON')

# To turn off the output of channel 1:
signal_generator.ch1.output('OFF')

# To disconnect from the instrument
signal_generator.close()

Note: Replace 'TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::INSTR' with the actual VISA resource name or address of your Keysight 33522B RF Signal Generator.
