PROTOCOLS > SCPI

📄 IDN

Query a device's identity through the universal *IDN? SCPI command.

📄 MEASURE VOLTAGE

Query an instrument's measured output voltage, such as a DMM or power supply.

📄 SCPI WRITE

Write a SCPI command to a connected bench-top instrument and return the result.

PyMeasure

from pymeasure.adapters import VISAAdapter
from pymeasure.instruments.temptronic.ats525 import ATS525

# Create a VISA adapter for communication
adapter = VISAAdapter("TCPIP::192.168.1.1::INSTR")

# Connect to the ATS 525 Temperature Controller
ats525 = ATS525(adapter)

# Perform measurements or operations on the instrument
current = ats525.system_current

# Print the operating current
print(current)

# Disconnect from the instrument
ats525.disconnect()

Explanation:

1. Import the necessary modules from Pymeasure.
2. Create a VISA adapter by providing the appropriate connection details (e.g., IP address).
3. Create an instance of the ATS525 class, passing the adapter as an argument.
4. Perform any desired measurements or operations on the instrument. In this example, we retrieve the operating current using the system_current attribute.
5. Print the operating current.
6. Disconnect from the instrument to release any resources.

Note: Make sure to replace "TCPIP::192.168.1.1::INSTR" with the actual connection details of your ATS 525 Temperature Controller.
