QCodes Community

To connect to a Keysight N9000A Spectrum Analyzer using Qcodes Community, you can use the following Python script:

from qcodes import Station, Instrument
from qcodes.instrument_drivers.Keysight.Keysight_N9000A import Keysight_N9000A

# Create a station to hold the instrument
station = Station()

# Connect to the Keysight N9000A Spectrum Analyzer
n9000a = Keysight_N9000A('n9000a', 'TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::inst0::INSTR')
station.add_component(n9000a)

# Print the RF center frequency
print(n9000a.rf_center_frequency())

# Set the video bandwidth to 10 MHz
n9000a.video_bandwidth(10)

# Print the power
print(n9000a.power())

# Close the connection
n9000a.close()

Note: Replace 'TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::inst0::INSTR' with the actual IP address or VISA resource string of your Keysight N9000A Spectrum Analyzer.
