Connecting to DPO4104 by Tektronix in Python

Instrument Card

The DPO4104 Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope delivers the performance you need to visualize even your most demanding signals. With a 1 GHz Bandwidth and offering a minimum of 5x oversampling on all channels and si (x)/x interpolation standard, you can be confident that even the fastest transient events will be captured and displayed accurately. The standard 10 M record length on all channels enables you to capture long windows of signal activity while maintaining fine timing resolution.

Connect to the DPO4104 in Python

OSCILLOSCOPES > TEKTRONIX

PROTOCOLS > SCPI

import instrumentkit


# Create a connection to the oscilloscope
oscilloscope = instrumentkit.connect('dpo4104', 'TCPIP::192.168.1.1::INSTR')


# Print the identification string of the oscilloscope
print(oscilloscope.identification)


# Close the connection to the oscilloscope
oscilloscope.close()

In this script, we import the instrumentkit module and create a connection to the DPO4104 Oscilloscope using the connect function. The first argument to connect is the instrument type, which in this case is 'dpo4104'. The second argument is the connection string, which specifies the communication protocol and address of the oscilloscope. In this example, we use the TCPIP protocol with the IP address '192.168.1.1'.

After establishing the connection, we can access various properties and methods of the oscilloscope. In this example, we print the identification string of the oscilloscope using the identification property.

Finally, we close the connection to the oscilloscope using the close method.

Note: Make sure to replace '192.168.1.1' with the actual IP address of your oscilloscope.
