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

To connect to a Keysight E8267D RF Signal Generator using Qcodes, you can use the following Python script:

import qcodes as qc
from qcodes.instrument_drivers.Keysight.Keysight_E8267D import Keysight_E8267D

# Create an instance of the instrument
signal_generator = Keysight_E8267D("signal_generator", "TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::inst0::INSTR")

# Connect to the instrument
signal_generator.connect()

# Now you can use the instrument to perform operations
frequency = signal_generator.frequency()
print("Current frequency:", frequency)

# Set a new frequency
signal_generator.frequency(1e9)

# Disconnect from the instrument
signal_generator.disconnect()

Note that you need to replace "TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::inst0::INSTR" with the actual address of your Keysight E8267D RF Signal Generator.
