Connecting to WavePro HD by Teledyne in Python

Instrument Card

WavePro HD High-Definition oscilloscopes employ unique Teledyne LeCroy HD4096 technology to achieve 12-bit resolution at up to 8 GHz bandwidth, for the lowest noise and unmatched signal fidelity. Up to 5 Gpt of highly responsive acquisition memory gives more visibility into system behavior, and the exceptional analysis toolbox enables deep insight.

Flojoy

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.

InstrumentKit

To connect to a WavePro HD Oscilloscope using Instrumentkit, you can use the following code:

import instrumentkit as ik

# Connect to the oscilloscope
address = "TCPIP0::192.168.0.10::INSTR"
oscilloscope = ik.teledyne.WaveProHD.open_visa(address)

# Perform operations on the oscilloscope
oscilloscope.run()
print(oscilloscope.trigger_state)

# Set time per division to 20 ns
oscilloscope.time_div = 20 * ik.units.ns

# Access the first channel
channel = oscilloscope.channel[0]
channel.trace = True
channel.coupling = channel.Coupling.dc50
channel.scale = 1 * ik.units.V

# Read waveform from the channel
xdat, ydat = channel.read_waveform()

# Close the connection to the oscilloscope
oscilloscope.close()

This code connects to the oscilloscope at the specified IP address (“TCPIP0::192.168.0.10::INSTR”) using the VISA protocol. It then performs operations on the oscilloscope, such as reading the waveform from a channel. Finally, it closes the connection to the oscilloscope.

Note: Make sure to replace “TCPIP0::192.168.0.10::INSTR” with the actual IP address of your WavePro HD Oscilloscope.
