Connecting to WaveMaster/SDA/DDA 8 Zi-B by Teledyne in Python

Instrument Card

The WaveMaster 8 Zi-B combines the performance, signal fidelity and feature set needed for today’s high-speed measurements with the ease of use of a standard benchtop oscilloscope. Featuring the highest-speed serial data triggers, the only complete multi-lane serial data analysis and eye diagram solution, and the most comprehensive set of compliance packages, the WaveMaster 8 Zi-B simplifies the most complex testing.

📄 SCPI WRITE

Write a SCPI command to a connected bench-top instrument and return the result.

InstrumentKit

To connect to a WaveMaster/SDA/DDA 8 Zi-B 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.MAUI.open_visa(address)

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

# Close the connection
oscilloscope.close()

In this code, we first import the instrumentkit module as ik. Then, we specify the address of the oscilloscope we want to connect to. Next, we use the open_visa function from the ik.teledyne.MAUI module to establish a connection to the oscilloscope.

Once the connection is established, we can perform operations on the oscilloscope. In this example, we start the oscilloscope by calling the run method and then print the current trigger state using the trigger_state property.

Finally, we close the connection to the oscilloscope by calling the close method.

Note: Make sure to replace the address variable with the actual IP address or VISA resource string of your oscilloscope.
