from qcodes.instrument_drivers.rohde_schwarz.HMP import RohdeSchwarzHMP4040

# Create an instance of the RohdeSchwarzHMP4040 driver
hmp = RohdeSchwarzHMP4040('hmp', 'TCPIP0::192.168.0.1::INSTR')

# Connect to the instrument
hmp.connect()

# Perform operations with the instrument

# Disconnect from the instrument
hmp.disconnect()

Explanation:

1. Import the RohdeSchwarzHMP4040 class from the qcodes.instrument_drivers.rohde_schwarz.HMP module.
2. Create an instance of the RohdeSchwarzHMP4040 driver with the desired name and address. Replace 'TCPIP0::192.168.0.1::INSTR' with the actual address of your HMP 2030 Power Supply.
3. Call the connect() method to establish a connection with the instrument.
4. Perform any desired operations using the instrument methods.
5. Call the disconnect() method to close the connection with the instrument.
