Connect to the SCPI multimeter in Python

PROTOCOLS > SCPI

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.
