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 34410A Multimeter using Qcodes, you can use the following Python script:

from qcodes.instrument_drivers.Keysight.Keysight_344XXA import Keysight_344XXA

# Create an instance of the Keysight_344XXA driver
multimeter = Keysight_344XXA('multimeter', 'TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::INSTR')

# Connect to the multimeter
multimeter.connect()

# Perform measurements or set parameters using the multimeter object

# Disconnect from the multimeter
multimeter.disconnect()

This script imports the Keysight_344XXA driver from the qcodes.instrument_drivers.Keysight module. It then creates an instance of the driver, specifying a name for the instrument and the VISA resource address of the multimeter. The connect() method is called to establish a connection to the multimeter. You can then perform measurements or set parameters using the multimeter object. Finally, the disconnect() method is called to disconnect from the multimeter.
