Lab Instrument Automation with Python

Hello, Im trying to figure out how to use easy-scpi for RIGOL 831 DC power supply. In the easy-scpi documentation it says that, for example, to set the voltage to 1V you have to write the following command: "inst.measure.voltage.dc( 1 )" that cames from [MEASure:VOLTage:DC 1]. Now im trying toadapt the command of the DC supply ":APPL CH1,5,1" that set the voltage and current of CH1 to 5V and 1A to easy.scipy code line. How can I do this? Sorry if something is not correctly explained but its my first time using PyVisa controllers and Im still learning how to use this stuff. PD: Great video.

Cool, Pat! What would you recommend for creating test instruments with LXI/SCPI interface?

Great video again! I’d suggest something like “I taught my Oscilloscope to speak python!” Or “Building a team of robot lab partners” , really juice the algorithm

Awesome! Thanks for this video. My PSU and DSO both support this.

Super cool!

Really great video and thanks for sharing! I've been doing my best to learn python and have been slowly automating data collection with my Siglent oscilloscope for a stepper motor dyno/characterization test bench. It's so satisfying to have all the data collection and processing automated! I wish I had known about easy-scpi when I got started, that would have been helpful.

v.good!

Cheers Pat! Super nice work! 😎

Awesome, thanks for sharing

Gooood video 🙂
thanks

Nice rigup
