Connect to the WaveSurfer 3000z in Python

PROTOCOLS > SCPI

To connect to a WaveSurfer 3000z Oscilloscope using Instrumentkit, you can use the following code:

import instrumentkit as ik


# Connect to the oscilloscope
oscilloscope = ik.teledyne.WaveSurfer3000z.open_visa("TCPIP0::192.168.0.10::INSTR")


# Perform operations on the oscilloscope
oscilloscope.run()
print(oscilloscope.trigger_state)


# Close the connection
oscilloscope.close()

This code imports the instrumentkit library and uses the open_visa method of the WaveSurfer3000z class to connect to the oscilloscope. You need to replace "TCPIP0::192.168.0.10::INSTR" with the actual VISA address of your oscilloscope.

Once connected, you can perform operations on the oscilloscope. In this example, the run method is called to start the oscilloscope’s trigger, and then the trigger_state property is printed to display the current trigger state.

Finally, the close method is called to close the connection to the oscilloscope.

Note: This code assumes that you have already installed the instrumentkit library and its dependencies.
