ds1054z
This package allows you to connect to your Rigol DS1054Z oscilloscope via Ethernet. It comes with a versatile command line tool.
Off course, you can also use it to control the scope with your own script by using the API this package has to offer.
While this software is named after the entry level oscilloscope DS1054Z, I believe there is no reason it wouldn’t work with just any scope of the DS1000Z and MSO1000Z series by Rigol:
DS1054Z
DS1074Z
DS1104Z
DS1074Z-S
DS1104Z-S
MSO1074Z
MSO1104Z
MSO1074Z-S
MSO1104Z-S
Features
Discovering your scope via mDNS / DNS-SD
Saving Screenshots (incl. adjustable dimming of on-screen controls)
Running / stopping the scope
Acquiring waveforms
… more to come!
Installation
The installation is dead simple:
pip install ds1054z[savescreen,discovery]
ds1054z depends on python-vxi11 which should automatically get installed along with itself.
For more information on the installation, please consult the installation section of the package documentation.
Recommended Firmware
Older versions of the oscilloscope’s firmware have many issues. The VXI-11 connection could be unstable or commands might return unexpected data. Specifically, I’m recommending version 00.04.04.SP3 (alias 00.04.04.03.02) published on 2017-02-08.
Usage
Command Line Tool
This package installs a versatile command line (CLI) tool called ds1054z. You can use it to save the screen of your scope, for example:
ds1054z save-screen --overlay 0.6 192.168.0.23You can find out more ways to use the CLI tool with ds1054z --help or by reading the manual.
Developers
If you’re into Python programming, use the DS1054Z class in your own code:
from ds1054z import DS1054Z
scope = DS1054Z('192.168.0.23')
print("Connected to: ", scope.idn)
print("Currently displayed channels: ", str(scope.displayed_channels))Resources
This Python package was inspired by DS1054Z_screen_capture.
The device discovery built into this software is largely based on this code by MerseyViking / GeoSpark.
There is a Qt4 based GUI interface for the scope called DSRemote.
