Connect to the Keysight M3201A in Python

PROTOCOLS > SCPI

To connect to a Keysight M3201A RF Signal Generator using Qcodes Community, you can use the following Python script:

from qcodes.instrument_drivers.Keysight.Keysight_M3201A import Keysight_M3201A


# Create an instance of the instrument
awg = Keysight_M3201A('awg', chassis=1, slot=7)


# Connect to the instrument
awg.connect()


# Now you can use the instrument for various operations
# For example, you can set the output voltage of a channel
awg.channels[1].amplitude(0.5)  # Set the amplitude of channel 1 to 0.5 V


# Disconnect from the instrument
awg.disconnect()

Note: Make sure you have the necessary dependencies installed, including Qcodes and the Keysight instrument drivers.
