Connect to the WaveSurfer 4000HD in Python

PROTOCOLS > SCPI

To connect to a WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscope using Instrumentkit, you can use the following code:

import instrumentkit as ik


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


# Perform operations on the oscilloscope
# For example, you can set the time division
oscilloscope.time_div = 200e-9


# You can also access and control the channels
channel = oscilloscope.channel[0]
channel.trace = True
channel.coupling = channel.Coupling.dc50
channel.scale = 1.0


# Read waveform data from the channel
xdat, ydat = channel.read_waveform()


# Print the waveform data
print("X Data:", xdat)
print("Y Data:", ydat)


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

This code connects to the oscilloscope at the specified IP address (“TCPIP0::192.168.0.10::INSTR”) using the VISA protocol. It then reads the waveform data from the first channel and prints the X and Y data.

Note: Make sure to replace “TCPIP0::192.168.0.10::INSTR” with the actual IP address of your WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscope.
