Connect to the Keysight 34410A Submodules in Python

PROTOCOLS > SCPI

To connect to a Keysight 34410A Multimeter using Qcodes, you can use the following Python script:

from qcodes.instrument_drivers.Keysight.Keysight_344xxA import Keysight34410A


# Create an instance of the Keysight34410A driver
multimeter = Keysight34410A('multimeter', 'TCPIP0::192.168.1.1::INSTR')


# Connect to the multimeter
multimeter.connect()


# Perform measurements or other operations with the multimeter


# Disconnect from the multimeter
multimeter.disconnect()

This script imports the Keysight34410A class from the qcodes.instrument_drivers.Keysight.Keysight_344xxA module. It then creates an instance of the Keysight34410A driver, passing the name and address of the multimeter as arguments to the constructor.

The connect() method is called to establish a connection to the multimeter. You can then perform measurements or other operations using the methods provided by the driver.

Finally, the disconnect() method is called to close the connection to the multimeter.
