Connect to the Infiniium oscilloscopes Series in Python

Read our guide for turning Python scripts into Flojoy nodes.

Flojoy

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

Here is an example Python script that uses Qcodes to connect to an Infiniium oscilloscope:

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

# Connect to the oscilloscope
oscilloscope = KeysightInfiniium("oscilloscope", "TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::INSTR")

# Print the IDN of the oscilloscope
print(oscilloscope.IDN())

# Set up the oscilloscope parameters
oscilloscope.run_mode("STOP")
oscilloscope.acquire_points(1000)
oscilloscope.sample_rate(1e9)

# Take a single acquisition
oscilloscope.single()

# Read the waveform data from channel 1
channel1 = oscilloscope.channels[0]
waveform_data = channel1.trace()

# Print the waveform data
print(waveform_data)

# Disconnect from the oscilloscope
oscilloscope.close()

Note: Replace "TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::INSTR" with the actual VISA address of your oscilloscope.
