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 SCPI multimeter using Instrumentkit, you can use the following code:

import instrumentkit as ik

# Connect to the multimeter
multimeter = ik.SCPIMultimeter.open_tcpip("192.168.1.1")

# Set the measurement mode to voltage DC
multimeter.mode = multimeter.Mode.voltage_dc

# Perform a measurement
measurement = multimeter.measure()

# Print the measurement result
print(measurement)

This code connects to the multimeter using the open_tcpip method, sets the measurement mode to voltage DC using the mode property, performs a measurement using the measure method, and prints the measurement result.
