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

import qcodes as qc
from qcodes.instrument_drivers.Keysight.Keysight_P9374A import KeysightP9374A

# Create an instance of the KeysightP9374A instrument
pna = KeysightP9374A('pna', 'TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::inst0::INSTR')

# Connect to the instrument
pna.connect()

# Perform operations with the instrument
pna.get_options()

# Disconnect from the instrument
pna.disconnect()

Explanation:

1. Import the necessary modules: qcodes and the KeysightP9374A instrument driver.
2. Create an instance of the KeysightP9374A instrument with a name (‘pna’) and the instrument’s address (‘TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::inst0::INSTR’).
3. Connect to the instrument using the connect() method.
4. Perform operations with the instrument, in this case, calling the get_options() method.
5. Disconnect from the instrument using the disconnect() method.
