CONNECTION_33510B

Connect Flojoy to a 33510B function generator. The connection is made with the VISA address in the Flojoy UI. This node should also work with compatible Keysight 33XXX wavefunction generators (although they are untested). Params: device : VisaDevice The VISA address to connect to. Returns: out : DataContainer Optional: None

In this example, we turn the wavefunction generation of a Keysight 33510B on.

Note

The 33510B nodes should also work with other 33XXX wavefunction generators. However, these are untested as of yet.

We must first add the CONNECTION_33510B node. This will create the connection to the instrument at the beginning of the app. To allow this we must set the VISA address for this (and all subsequent 33510B nodes). If the address does not appear in the parameters you may have to press REFRESH in the HARDWARE MANAGER tab.

We add two ON_OFF_33510B nodes as well as the TEXT_VIEW node to view the summary of the changes for each one. For the two ON_OFF_33510B we change the channel parameter (to ch1 and ch2) to as well as changing on_off. The node simply turns the wavefunction generation on or off for the chosen channel. In this example we turn Channel 1 (ch1) off and Channel 2 (ch2) on.
