QCodes

import qcodes as qc
from qcodes.instrument_drivers.Keysight.Keysight_N5230C import Keysight_N5230C

# Create an instance of the Keysight_N5230C instrument
n5230c = Keysight_N5230C('n5230c', 'TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::inst0::INSTR')

# Connect to the instrument
n5230c.connect()

# Perform operations with the instrument

# Disconnect from the instrument
n5230c.disconnect()

Note: Replace 'TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::inst0::INSTR' with the actual IP address or VISA resource string of your N5230C Network Analyzer.
