Connecting to Keysight 33622A by Keysight in Python

Instrument Card

The Keysight 33622A function/arbitrary waveform generators offer the standard signals and features you expect, such as modulation, sweep, and burst. However, it also provides features that give you the capabilities and flexibility you need to get your job done quickly, no matter how complex. An intuitive front-panel user interface, for example, can be quickly and easily relearned when your attention has been focused elsewhere.

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 33622A Function Generator using Qcodes, you can use the following Python script:

from qcodes.instrument_drivers.Keysight.Keysight_33XXX import WaveformGenerator_33XXX

# Create an instance of the instrument
instrument = WaveformGenerator_33XXX('my_instrument', 'TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::INSTR')

# Connect to the instrument
instrument.connect()

# Now you can use the instrument to control the function generator
# For example, to set the frequency of channel 1 to 1 MHz:
instrument.ch1.frequency(1e6)

# To turn on the output of channel 1:
instrument.ch1.output('ON')

# To disconnect from the instrument:
instrument.disconnect()

Note that you need to replace 'TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::INSTR' with the actual VISA resource name of your instrument.
