Rigol dsa815 tg hack software#

As far as I know the URY is functionally the same as the URV5 being the URY a version for a specific marked, this software was tested only on the URY with Linux GPIB and Python.

Having the URY millivoltmeter decided to code a small utility to collect data via GPIB using Linux. Rigol DSA800 programing guide can be downloaded at: If you copy past the command in this post, don't forget to set your instrument IP instead of the one I used (192.168.1.81) In the future will try to add more commands in this document and write some scripts for automation, maybe even a GUI program. If nothing is set for that trace the output will look like this: Open 'trace1.csv' on a spreadsheet software and plot a graph: You can 'pipe' the command to file this way: Output, (shortened version) will be similar to this:

Now we need to take/download traces: this for me is the most interesting part since we can take the traces and then compute over the results, for instance in SWR (when trial license expires ) or 3db bandwidth for example. The result will be like this on the spectrum analyzer: Note: it will answer the previous set frequency: '124000000'ДЇor stop frequency should be 'FREQuency:STOP', bellow for a 450Mhz stop frequency Setting and querying the start frequency: Querying the tracking generator/TG status: If you need to change to '2' the screen brightness: Note: answer with be a numeric value of the the setting, in my case is '1' The screenshot will literary take a screenshot of what's visible on the screen be it a trace or a configuration screen.Д®ven more complicated screenshot for the command line die hard's: Then you will need to set the IP via instrument panel, in my case I used a static IP in the same range as the Ethernet port of the laptop.

Recently acquired a Rigol DSA815-TG 1.5Ghz spectrum analyzer and although at the moment I only use computer control for taking some screenshots would be interesting to know how to take more advantage of instrument remote control.ДЇirst thing you will need is connect your instrument via the LAN port to your local network, in my case I just connect it back to back to my laptop.

Same end result as GPIB or Serial port control, that is, you have a system that controls and queries the instrument, only the medium is different on this case, it uses a more modern approach, the Ethernet/LAN.

LXI is nothing more than LAN extensions for instrumentation control. You can use also the gui version 'lxi-gui' Most of the command are using the ' lxi' tool v1.21. It is more Linux oriented but commands can be ported to other systems.Дid this out of need since I could not find a single explanatory source of information for all the commands listed besides the programing guide and as all programing guides, they never have a simple 'how to to this' Following on the series for ' GPIB' control of instruments, this post is about LXI control, in particular the Rigol DSA815-TG spectrum analyzer.
