Connect to the Keysight N3300A in Python

PROTOCOLS > SCPI

To connect to a Keysight N3300A Electronic Load using Qcodes Community, you can use the following code:

from qcodes.instrument_drivers.Keysight.Keysight_N3300A import Keysight_N3300A


# Create an instance of the instrument
load = Keysight_N3300A('load', 'TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::inst0::INSTR')


# Connect to the instrument
load.connect()


# Now you can use the instrument to perform operations
# For example, you can set the load current
load.current.set(1)  # Set the load current to 1 Ampere


# Disconnect from the instrument
load.disconnect()

Note: Replace 'TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::inst0::INSTR' with the actual VISA address of your Keysight N3300A Electronic Load.
