Connecting to DPO5000 by Tektronix in Python
Instrument Card
The MSO/DPO5000 Series offers the industry’s most complete visualization of signals, providing fast insight into the real operation of your device. Tektronix proprietary FastAcq™ technology delivers a fast waveform capture – greater than 250,000 waveforms per second – that enables you to see glitches and other infrequent transients within seconds, revealing the true nature of device faults. A digital phosphor display with color intensity grading shows the history of a signal’s activity by using color to identify areas of the signal that occur more frequently, providing a visual display of just how often anomalies occur.

PROTOCOLS > SCPI
Here is an example Python script that uses Qcodes to connect to a DPO5000 Oscilloscope:
This script connects to the oscilloscope using the IP address “1.2.3.4” and creates an instance of the TektronixDPO7000xx
driver. It then prints the names of the available channels, sets the time per division for channel 1 to 0.1s, acquires a waveform from channel 1, and plots the waveform. Finally, it closes the connection to the oscilloscope.
