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 B1500A Spectrum Analyzer using Qcodes, you can use the following code:

from qcodes.instrument_drivers.Keysight.KeysightB1500 import KeysightB1500

# Create an instance of the KeysightB1500 instrument
b1500 = KeysightB1500('b1500', 'TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::inst0::INSTR')

# Connect to the instrument
b1500.connect()

# Perform operations with the instrument

# Disconnect from the instrument
b1500.disconnect()

This code creates an instance of the KeysightB1500 instrument with the name ‘b1500’ and the specified address (‘TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::inst0::INSTR’). Then, it connects to the instrument using the connect() method. You can perform various operations with the instrument after connecting. Finally, it disconnects from the instrument using the disconnect() method.
