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 Community

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

from qcodes.instrument.visa import VisaInstrument
from qcodes.instrument_drivers.Keysight.Keysight_E8267D import Keysight_E8267D

# Create an instance of the Keysight E8267D PSG RF Signal Generator
signal_generator = Keysight_E8267D("signal_generator", "TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::inst0::INSTR")

# Connect to the signal generator
signal_generator.connect()

# Now you can use the instrument to control the signal generator
# For example, to set the frequency:
signal_generator.frequency(1e9)

# To get the current frequency:
frequency = signal_generator.frequency()

# To set the power:
signal_generator.power(-10)

# To get the current power:
power = signal_generator.power()

# Disconnect from the signal generator
signal_generator.disconnect()

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