Connect to the Keysight 34411A Submodules in Python

PROTOCOLS > SCPI

To connect to a Keysight 34411A Multimeter using Qcodes, you can use the following Python script:

from qcodes.instrument_drivers.Keysight.Keysight_34411A import Keysight_34411A


# Create an instance of the Keysight_34411A driver
multimeter = Keysight_34411A(name='multimeter', address='your_device_address')


# Connect to the multimeter
multimeter.connect()


# Perform measurements or other operations with the multimeter


# Disconnect from the multimeter
multimeter.disconnect()

This script imports the Keysight_34411A driver from the qcodes.instrument_drivers.Keysight module. It then creates an instance of the Keysight_34411A driver, specifying a name for the instrument and the address of the device.

After creating the instance, you can connect to the multimeter using the connect() method. Once connected, you can perform measurements or other operations with the multimeter.

Finally, you can disconnect from the multimeter using the disconnect() method.

Note: Make sure you replace 'your_device_address' with the actual address of your Keysight 34411A Multimeter.
