Flojoy

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 B2200A Switch using Qcodes, you can use the following Python script:

from qcodes.instrument.visa import VisaInstrument
from qcodes.instrument_drivers.Keysight.KeysightB2200 import KeysightB2200

# Create an instance of the KeysightB2200 instrument
switch = KeysightB2200('switch', 'TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::inst0::INSTR')

# Connect to the instrument
switch.connect_message()

# Perform operations on the switch
switch.connect(1, 2)  # Connect input channel 1 to output channel 2
switch.disconnect(1, 2)  # Disconnect input channel 1 from output channel 2

# Close the connection to the instrument
switch.close()

This script creates an instance of the KeysightB2200 instrument, specifying the instrument name and address. Then, it connects to the instrument using the connect_message() method. After that, you can perform operations on the switch, such as connecting and disconnecting input/output pairs using the connect() and disconnect() methods. Finally, the connection to the instrument is closed using the close() method.

Note: Make sure to replace 'TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::inst0::INSTR' with the actual address of your Keysight B2200A Switch.
