Connecting to Yokogawa GS 200 by Yokogawa in Python

Instrument Card

The GS200 is a low voltage/current DC source with high accuracy, high stability, and high resolution. With its excellent traceability, stability, and 5 1/2-digit resolution, the GS200 generates extremely low-noise DC voltage and current signals that are required for many applications. Additionally, the optional monitoring feature turns the GS200 into a voltage and current measuring instrument.

QCodes

from qcodes.instrument_drivers.yokogawa.GS200 import YokogawaGS200

# Connect to the Yokogawa GS200 power supply
gs200 = YokogawaGS200("gs200", "GPIB0::1::INSTR")

# Print the output state
print(gs200.output())

# Turn on the output
gs200.output(True)

# Set the voltage to 1V
gs200.voltage(1)

# Set the current to 100mA
gs200.current(0.1)

# Ramp the voltage from 0V to 5V with a step of 1V and a delay of 1 second
gs200.ramp_voltage(5, 1, 1)

# Ramp the current from 0A to 1A with a step of 0.1A and a delay of 0.1 seconds
gs200.ramp_current(1, 0.1, 0.1)

# Turn off the output
gs200.output(False)

# Disconnect from the power supply
gs200.close()

Note: Make sure to replace "GPIB0::1::INSTR" with the actual address of your Yokogawa GS200 power supply.
