Connecting to MDA8000HD by Teledyne in Python

Instrument Card

The Motor Drive Analyzer is built on an 8 channel, 12-bit resolution oscilloscope platform. It acquires any signal and performs three-phase electrical and mechanical power calculations. It provides complete power section and embedded control test coverage.

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 MDA8000HD Oscilloscope using Instrumentkit, you can use the following code:

import instrumentkit as ik

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

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

# Close the connection
oscilloscope.close()

This code imports the instrumentkit library and uses the open_visa function from the ik.teledyne.MAUI module to connect to the oscilloscope. The IP address “192.168.0.10” is used as an example, and you should replace it with the actual IP address of your oscilloscope.

Once connected, you can perform operations on the oscilloscope, such as starting the trigger in automatic mode and printing the trigger state. Finally, you can close the connection to the oscilloscope using the close method.

Note: This code assumes that you have already installed the necessary dependencies and have the correct VISA backend configured.
