InstrumentKit

from instrumentkit import Scope

# Connect to the oscilloscope
scope = Scope("TCPIP::192.168.1.1::INSTR")

# Set up the oscilloscope
scope.set_timebase(1e-6)  # Set timebase to 1us/div
scope.set_channel_scale(1, 0.1)  # Set channel 1 scale to 0.1V/div
scope.set_channel_scale(2, 0.2)  # Set channel 2 scale to 0.2V/div

# Acquire waveform data
waveform = scope.acquire_waveform(1)  # Acquire waveform from channel 1

# Print the acquired waveform data
print(waveform)

# Disconnect from the oscilloscope
scope.disconnect()

In this script, we first import the Scope class from the instrumentkit module. Then, we create an instance of the Scope class by passing the instrument’s address as a string to the constructor.

Next, we set up the oscilloscope by calling various methods on the scope object. For example, we use the set_timebase method to set the timebase to 1us/div and the set_channel_scale method to set the scale of channel 1 to 0.1V/div and channel 2 to 0.2V/div.

After setting up the oscilloscope, we can acquire waveform data using the acquire_waveform method. In this example, we acquire the waveform from channel 1 by passing 1 as an argument to the method.

Finally, we print the acquired waveform data and disconnect from the oscilloscope using the disconnect method.

Note: Replace "TCPIP::192.168.1.1::INSTR" with the actual IP address or VISA resource string of your DPO7000 Oscilloscope.
